Discussion This report presents an infant with Amelia of three limbs and/phocomelia of one limb with no striking dysmporhic features noticed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Surgical Procedure

  Centralization and radialization of the carpus are the surgical procedures most used for correcting radial club hand(13-15,17,18). [scielo.br]

  Modern hand surgical procedures on children and on adults share the common need for specialist nursing teams, specialist equipment needed in microsurgery, bone fixation, and imaging the skeleton. Long operating times are often needed. [adc.bmj.com]

• Fatigue

  Amelia has continence issues related to a lack of sensation which is still under investigation, severe constipation and an as yet, undiagnosed neuromuscular condition that affects all aspects of her muscles, causing weakness and fatigue. [raredisease.org.uk]

Prognosis and treatment The prognosis depends upon the severity of other associated anomalies. More than 60% of newborns die early postnatally due to complicated amelia 2. [radiopaedia.org]

The couple was counseled about the poor prognosis and amniocentesis was offered but they declined. They opted for no cesarean delivery for fetal indication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In case of syndromic presentation, prognosis depends on the nature of the associated anomalies. (Source: Orphanet) Link: Fibular hemimelia [dysnet.org]

The importance of early antenatal diagnosis in this severe condition with a poor prognosis lies in differentiating it from an isolated gastroschisis, which has a much better prognosis. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]
