Abstract
We report a case of body stalk anomaly arising in the second baby of a triplet pregnancy after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Body stalk anomaly or limb-body wall complex is a rare congenital anomaly with a series of similar clinical manifestations and poor prognosis. IVF-ET is an effective treatment for various types of infertility. We summarize and discuss herein the relation with the sequence of genesis for such malformations and multiple pregnancies after IVF-ET.
