The mermaid syndrome (sirenomelia) is an extremely rare anomaly, an incidence of 1 in 100,000 births, in which a newborn born with legs joined together featuring a mermaid-like appearance (head and trunk like humans and tail like fish), and in most cases die shortly after birth. mermaid syndrome,mermaid,sirenomelia,causes of mermaid syndrome,problems of a mermaid syndrome,what is a mermaid syndrome,Mermaid Girl,joint legs,mermaid boy,murmaid Sirenomelia is a rare and fatal congenital defect characterized by varying degrees of lower limb fusion, thoracolumbar spinal anomalies, sacrococcygeal agenesis, genitourinary, and anorectal atresia. [1] The incidence of sirenomelia is case/100,000 births with male to female ratio being 3:1. [2] The rarity of the case is obvious from the fact that many a gynecologist might not have come across a case of sirenomelia in their whole professional carrier. There is a strong association with maternal diabetes where relative risk is 1:200-250 and up to 22% of fetuses with this anomaly will have mothers with diabetes. [3,4] We report two cases of sirenomelia where maternal drug abuse and overt diabetes may have been the cause of this rare anomaly. Hyperthermia and amniotic band disruption are the underlying causes of the occurrence of the mermaid syndrome. The exposure to teratogenic factors, such as air pollution, and mother-to-drug contact with cocaine and tobacco and alcohol cigarettes, and radionuclide are also among the causes Keywords university of colombo japura university university of sri jayewardenepura colombo university molecular biology jayawardenapura university medical student vlog medical student life medical faculty sri lanka colombo medical faculty japura peradeniya university medical faculty uoc university of jayawardenapura sri jayawardenapura university biology medical student life in sri lanka university of kelaniya university japura campus peradeniya university uni life peradeniya medical faculty colombo university medical faculty colombo campus jayawardanapura campus pera uni lovers molecular biology degree in sri lanka molecular biology degree in sri lanka medical student vlog sri lanka kelaniya university university life japura songs surgery day vlog molecular biologist university of peradeniya aura lanka thawalama bio science university of peradeniya medical faculty japura medical faculty university of colombo faculty of medicine university of japura colombo university management faculty law faculty colombo university ruhuna medical faculty faculty of medicine university of colombo med student vlog medical faculty of peradeniya faculty of medicine university of peradeniya orthopedic surgeon day in the life medical faculty campus songs sri lanka medical vlog faculty of medicine colombo university life sri lanka doctor vlog sirenomelia surgery vlog day campus life sri lanka japura management faculty medical faculty colombo moratuwa medical faculty colombo university today news hd idea Surgery vlog sri lanka university thawalama aura lanka baby doctor medical student medical students in sri lanka molecular biology colombo university biological science med vlog colombo university law faculty med student vlog sri lanka medical college in sri lanka medical college life ruhuna university sri lankan medical students vlog sri lankan university vlog how to be a doctor in sri lanka japura technology faculty jayawardanapura campus song peradeniya campus university of colombo medical faculty university of sri lanka university vlog in sri lanka colombo doctors vlog hospital vlog japura university song university of colombo faculty of science university of ruhuna bio science degree in sri lanka campuS faculty of medicine university of sri jayeward. medical student sri lanka medico vlog mermaid syndrome molecular vlog medical student Geo wca street food campus vlog sri lanka medical college pera university sri jayawardenapura university medical facul. university hostel life sri lanka university of colombo faculty of arts If this video helps you please feel free to, Like , 👍👍 Comment, 👌👌 Subscribe for our HD idea Youtube channel to stay tuned with us, Share this with your friends.😍😍 #mermaid #Sirenomelia #shorts
