Research Notes on Mermaid Syndrome
Mermaid Syndrome is also known as sirenomelia, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving the appearance of a mermaid. The only treatment for Mermaid Syndrome is surgery. This syndrome is as rare as conjoined twins, and occurs in one of every 70,000 live births. Mermaid Syndrome is usually fatal within a day or two of birth, because of complications associated with abnormal kidney and bladder development and function.
