Özet

Sirenomeli olarak da adlandırılan denizkızı (mermaid) sendromu oldukça nadir görülen doğumsal bir bozukluktur. Bu sendromda bebeğe denizkızı görünümünü veren yapışık bacakların yanı sıra, ağır üreme-boşaltım, mide- bağırsak, kalp-damar ve merkezi sinir sistemi bozuklukları bulunur. Bu yazıda yapışık bacakların yanı sıra göbek kordonunda tek arter, böbrek yokluğu, akciğer hipoplazisi, özofagus atrezisi, ventriküler septal defekt, anal atrezi, bağırsak atrezisi saptanan ve doğumunun beşinci saatinde kaybedilen denizkızı sendromu olgusu sunulmuştur.
