Amelia

“Amelia is a congenital anomaly characterized by the complete absence of one or more limbs (see Fig. 36). It can be distinguished from other limb deficiencies, especially terminal transverse deficiencies, and rare conditions such as sirenomelia and limb-body wall spectrum (see Fig. 37 and Table 2). Radiographs are strongly recommended to confirm the condition and characterize the bony anatomy.” [Source]
