Congenital limb defects are fetal anomalies with birth. Amelia is extremely rare birth defect marked by the complete absence of or more limbs. Congenital limb defects are rare fetal anomalies with a birth prevalence of 0.55 per 1,000. Amelia is an extremely rare birth defect marked by the complete absence of one or more limbs.
