Abstract
Unilateral limb anomalies can present as both logitudinal or transvers e deficits. The occurrence of a limb anomaly may signal mechanical dis ruption of the developing limb, or may be part of a larger, more serio us problem. The antenatal and differential diagnosis of unilateral lim b reduction defects is important because of the potential effect these disorders may have on mode of delivery and long term outcome of the c hild. This case illustrates the antenatal diagnosis of Baller-Gerold S yndrome and a review of unilateral limb reduction defects.
