“Sirenomelia, alternatively known as
Mermaid Syndrome, is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs
are fused together, giving them the appearance of a mermaid’s tail.
This condition is found in approximately one out of every 100,000 live
births[1] (about as rare as conjoined twins) and is usually fatal
within a day or two of birth because of complications associated with
abnormal kidney and urinary bladder development and function.”
