ABSTRACT
Amelia is a rare syndrome characterized by complete absence of one or all four limbs. We reported two cases of amelia observed in service A of the CMNT during 2002. The purpose of this article is to discuss the different etiologies of this malformation and to underline the contribution of the ultrasound done early [12 weeks of gestation]. Amelia is the result of toxic, mechanic or genetic causes. The antenatal diagnosis by ultrasonography is very useful
