Occurrence of Polymelia in a Female Child
A 6-month-old female presented to us with an extra-underdeveloped lower limb []. She also had Grade 3 weakness in the left lower limb. There was no bladder or bowel incontinence. Plain X-ray demonstrated a normal left hip joint with an accessory left underdeveloped limb. The accessory limb had rudimentary femur falsely attached to normal acetabulam of the left hip joint. Clinically left hip joint movements were normal. Both rudimentary femur and the tibia formed a false knee joint. This joint had no flexion or extension movement. Distal most end of the accessory limb had a single false digit with a single curved false metatarsal []. There was no history of congenital anomalies in the family members. There was no history of teratogenic drug intake during pregnancy by the mother. The patient was lost to follow-up as the family relocated to another city.
