Amelia and Meromelia may either present as an isolated defect or associated with other malformations; and the diagnosis is mainly clinical. The antenatal period of the case presented here was medically unsupervised but uneventful. The baby had bilateral upper limb Meromelia and bilateral lower limb Amelia along with a small ostium secundum atrial septal defect. Except for the young age of mother, there was no other obvious risk factor in this case. The baby had a normal and healthy neonatal outcome whereas most such cases are either stillborn or end in early neonatal death.
