✦ Synopsis

Abstract

BACKGROUND

Symmelia is a rare birth defect, often combined with severe malformations of the urogenital system and the lower gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, a deformed pelvis and various degrees of separation of the lower limbs are present.

CASES

We report the examination findings of 3 autopsy specimens of symmelia using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) with 3‐dimensional (3D) reconstructions, and conventional X‐ray.

CONCLUSIONS

MRI and CT with the addition of 3D visualization can be used additionally with autopsy and conventional X‐ray images in the investigation of such complex anatomical abnormalities. Birth Defects Research (Part A), 2005. Β© 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
