Sirenomelia, or "mermaid syndrome," represents a severe form of caudal regression. It is a rare congenital malformation that is incompatible with life. In the following case report, a double inferior vena cava was also present, and this anomaly in association with sirenomelia has not been reported. Ultrasound may be useful in the early antenatal detection of this anomaly. This is the first case of sirenomelia reported in the black race.
肢体-体壁综合征，即“美人鱼综合征”，是一种严重的尾端退化形式。它是一种罕见的先天性畸形，无法存活。在以下病例报告中，还存在双下腔静脉，这种与肢体-体壁综合征相关的异常情况此前未见报道。超声检查可能有助于在产前早期发现这种异常。这是黑人种族中报道的首例肢体-体壁综合征病例。
