Abstract
The term phocomelia comes from the Greek: fóke-“seal,” plus melos-“limb. It is a very rare congenital birth defect affecting the limbs [1]. In recent times it is very unusual to see phocomelia babies at term. This case concerns a 3-months-old boy with multiple skeletal anomalies, delivered at term and is reported owing to its rarity and term live birth.
