{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Congenital upper limb amelia is one of the extremely rare conditions. It is defined as a complete absence of upper limbs. It may present as isolated or with other associated anomalies.
UNASSIGNED: We present a case of a 2-year-old male child with congenital complete absence of bilateral upper limb. This male child was born after four female children. With the advancement in modern-era prenatal diagnostic facilities and a better understanding of fetal-maternal drug pharmacology, such cases are rare entity.
