This case report describes a prenatal diagnosis of sirenomelia sequence at 12 weeks and 4 days of gestation using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. The case highlights the importance of First Trimester ultrasound screening and the value of 3D ultrasound in early diagnosis. The etiology of this condition is discussed, with a focus on its potential association with embryonic layer development abnormalities. Ultimately, the patient opted for termination of pregnancy.
