Duplicate Tail Like Right Lower Limb: A Rare Congenital Malformation

Abstract

Introduction: Polymelia (supernumerary limbs) or congenital duplication of limb is an extremely rare condition in humans, with only few cases reported in the literature. Case Report: This is a case of newborn female born with a tail-like extra right leg, which unfortunately was not detected during the routine antenatal ultrasonography. Conclusion: Early diagnosis can facilitate the management planning and psychological preparation of the parents. Surgical resection of the accessory limb at an early age is recommended in patients with polymelia. *Correspondence: Khalil Salameh, Department of Pediatrics and Neonatology, Al Wakra Hospital, Hamad Medical Corporation, Al Wakra, Qatar, Tel: +974 40114258.
