Abstract :
Bilateral femoral agenesis is a rare anomaly. To the best of our
knowledge, only three cases of simple congenital anomaly and three
cases associated with femoral facial syndrome have been reported.
Here, we describe a simple form of bilateral femoral agenesis observed
in one of the 2 dead fetuses delivered after termination of a
24-week twin pregnancy of a normal mother. Post-mortem x-ray
examination confirmed the agenesis of both femurs and also left
fibula
