Sirenomelia and cyclopia in the same patient after a cluster of cyclopia and sirenomelia in Cali (South America)

Recently the Journal published a sireno melia and a cyclopia cluster in Cali, a city located on the Colombian pacific coast. The clusters were colleted and analyzed by the ECLAMC (Latin-American Collaborative Study of Congenital Malformations) [Castilla et al., 2008]. The sirenomelia cluster occurred in a period of 55 days from September 12, 2004 to February 2, 2005; in thes time 1,064 babies were born and, of these, four cases presented with this rare disorder. The cluster if cyclopedia occurred in a period of 170 days between December 4,2004 and May 23, 2005; in this period 3,594 births occurred [Castilla et al., 2008; Orioli et al., 2009]. We present a case of sirenomelia with cyclopia in Cali. This case was born in June 2008 and was after the cluster.
