Congenital skeletal limb deficiencies are rare cases in congenital anomalies of newborn infants. Authors experienced two cases of peromelia, who had multiple anomalies such as absence of external genitalia, anal atresia, hemivertebrae, anencephaly and cephalocele. In case 1, autopsy findimgs revealed the complete duodenal obstruction between second and third portion, and anal atresia. X-ray findings showed multiple bone anomalies such as hemivertebrae, dislocation of femoral head due to incomplete formation of the pelvis. In this case, we could not recognize sex of the baby grossly so we confirmed that is male by chromosomal study and pathologic findings. In the second case, we could observed that the baby was anencephalic monster with cephslocele, but other organs were normal in autopsy findings except multiple skeletal limb deficiencies.
