Limb Body Wall Complex
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Limb body wall complex, also known as body stalk anomaly, is characterized by a combination of developmental abnormalities involving neural tube, body wall and limbs. Most of them are diagnosed by ultrasonography in the prenatal period and are not continued till birth. Usually it has a normal karyotype but body stalk anomaly may also be associated with trisomy 16[1]. The chance of recurrence is very low in subsequent pregnancies. There is no correlation with parents’ age or fetal gender.
