Abstract
Amelia is an extremely rare abnormality with a highest reported incide nce of 1 in 67 500 liveborn infants. We now report four cases in each of which amelia involving one upper limb occurred in association,vith anal atresia. The pattern of other abnormalities present in these case s suggests that this combination of amelia and anal atresia falls with in the spectrum of the VACTERL association.
