I prefer Alexandra. My friend is a medical student and she told me that amelia is a condition where people have no limbs, which put me off the name!

Amelia is the complete absence of the skeletal parts of the upper or lower limbs with no bony structure distal to the defect. Total amelia affects all four limbs1. This unfortunate malformation generally is a random event, but is occasionally seen in specific syndromes associated with other congenital anomalies1,2. This case report describes an early second trimester diagnosis of near total amelia in conjunction with other anomalies. Also presented are the obstetrical management and findings at autopsy.
