Indian J Orthop. 2007 Jan;41(1):72-5. doi: 10.4103/0019-5413.30530.

Abstract

Spinal dysraphism is a common congenital anomaly with many associated variants. One of the rarest associated findings is a full grown or rudimentary third limb, collectively called Tripagus. We present two cases of spinal dysraphism with rudimentary third limb arising from the ilium.

Keywords: Rudimentary/accessory third limb; spinal dysraphism; tripagus.
