A 22 year old mother, from Sahranpur, in Uttar Pradesh, northern India,
gave birth to this baby who only lived for 10 minutes because he/she
had a rare congenital condition called Sirenomelia also known as
'Mermaid syndrome'. The condition is a form of congenital deformity
which causes what looks like a single limb, thereby keeping the legs
fused together, it also makes it almost impossible to determine the sex
of the child after delivery. Doctors in Indian were astonished as they
said they have seen congenital disorders amongst children but this
particularly one was an extremely rare case.
