Sirenomelia—Challenges and Treatment Approach in a Rare Case

Due to accompanying malformations, there is often no treatment for sirenomelia. Avoidance of risk factors, early diagnosis, multidisciplinary approach and psychological preparation of parents to help them cope emotionally and mentally with the challenges, seem to be the key factors of management. It is very important to diagnose this condition by ultrasonography prenatally so that termination of pregnancy can be carried out.

Abstract

Due to accompanying malformations, there is often no treatment for sirenomelia. Avoidance of risk factors, early diagnosis, multidisciplinary approach and psychological preparation of parents to help them cope emotionally and mentally with the challenges, seem to be the key factors of management. It is very important to diagnose this condition by ultrasonography prenatally so that termination of pregnancy can be carried out.
