dc.description.abstractA Case of Amelia (a skeletal dysplasia with failure of formation of all four limbs) is presented. The patient, aged 36, has had a previous normal baby. The index pregnancy was supervised at a polyclinic. An ultrasound examination was done to confirm the pregnancy at 11 weeks. She was referred to the Korle Bu teaching Hospital at 42 weeks of gestation. She had a successful induction of labour and delivered a live 1.95kg male infant with no limbs. The neonatologist detected no other abnormalities. The social welfare department adopted him as the very depressed parents rejected him. We advocate routine obstetric scan at 18-20 weeks gestation to detect anomalies. Apart from effective counselling, both medical and social support services should be improved for adequate and appropriate management of congenital malformations.en_US
