Sirenomelia, also known as siren syndrome, is a rare serious congenital malformation, generally incompatible with life, whose etiology has not yet been established. Although heterogeneous causes are suspected, specifically of vascular origin, they have not been fully elucidated. It reports an incidence of 1 per 24,000-67,000 newborns and is characterized by the fusion of the lower limbs and associated alterations in various organs and systems, among which kidney malformations are the most frequent. This article reports the case of a newborn, product of twin pregnancy, who has sirenomelia without a prenatal diagnosis at a fourth-level hospital in Bogotá, Colombia.

Keywords : Type I sirenomelia; dipus; congenital malformation.
