A Case of Limb-Body Wall Complex

Abstract

Limb-Body Wall complex is a complicated with the essential features of neural-tube defects, body-wall disruption, and limb abnormalities. This complex should be distinguished from other body-wall defects including omphalocele and gastroschisis since the prognosis for limb-body wall is uniformly poor. We have experienced one case of limb-body wall complex in a 22-year-old primigravida, which is presented with a brief review of the literature.
