A provisional diagnosis of sirenomelia was made and further workup and plan for surgery was made. The parents agreed for workup and left to come prepared for admission but they did not come for admission and also did not respond to repeated calls. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Workup An accurate radiologic evaluation is essential. Standard posteroanterior (PA) and lateral views of the entire spine are used for the initial evaluation. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Surgery Surgery is an essential component of treatment. Specific treatments will be discussed for each tumor type. [cancer.gov]

Operative treatment Surgery is the most effective treatment for severe or progressive congenital scoliosis. Many different forms of operative treatment exist for congenital scoliosis, and all have their place. [emedicine.medscape.com]

In addition, in cases where the natural history indicates a poor prognosis, orthotic treatment is contraindicated. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Clinical signs incidence: 1 : 30 000 – 70 000, more frequent in females the prognosis in a fetus correlates inversely with the tumor size and rate of tumor growth, the prognosis is worsened with the presence of hydrops fetalis and placental edema hydrops [atlases.muni.cz]

Most fetal sacrococcygeal teratomas are not likely to be malignant, and the prognosis tends to be good after resection. Updated: March 2014 [chop.edu]

The prognosis is usually poor with survival depending on the nature of the visceral anomalies. [omicsonline.org]

Prognosis [ edit ] There are four levels (or "types") of malformation. The least severe indicates partial deformation (unilateral) of the sacrum. The second level indicates a bilateral (uniform) deformation. [en.wikipedia.org]

The etiology is unknown, and the outcome for the affected fetus is rather uncertain. [dovepress.com]

Also we could not further investigate to clinch the etiology due to non-cooperation of the patient. This rare abnormality is usually universally fatal but this boy was found to be healthy at fifteen years of age. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

Moreover, it appears that both multi-anomaly-CRS and VACTERL anomalies may have similar etiological factors, a point that can be debated as more of such cases are reported. REFERENCES 1. Shah DS, Tomar G, Preetkiran. Sirenomelia. [apspjcaserep.com]

Although they appear clinicallydistinct, some epidemiological and experimental studies sug-gest a common pathogenetic mechanism. We report on thereproductive history of a 28-year-old obese, diabetic motherwho had three pregnancies. [docslide.com.br]

The above concepts have been derived from epidemiological observations(2,6) or by extrapolation of studies conducted on animals e.g., adriamycin induced VACTERL association in rats(7), and at present is largely hypothetical. [indianpediatrics.net]
