Sirenomelia, Mermaid syndrome, is a very rare and fatal congenital anomaly. In Sirenomelia lower limbs are fused and atrophied. The lower body looks like tail of a fish and the upper body is like human . Hence they are known as mermaid syndrome .Musculoskeletal anomalies, renal agenesis absent external genitalia and gastrointestinal defect or cardiovascular anomalies are usually associated with this syndrome. The Incidence of sirenomelia is one in 60,000 – 70,000 pregnancies. Our aim to report these cases is to add information to the existing knowledge to emphasize on early screening and termination of pregnancy.
