IntroductionLimb body wall complex (LBWC) is a rare multiple fetal malformation characterized by large abdominal or chest wall defects, scoliosis, limb abnormalities, umbilical cord abnormalities, and craniofacial abnormalities. An extensive epidemiological study has indicated that the prevalence of LBWC ranges between 1 in 14,000 and 1 in 31,000 pregnancies 1. In this case report, we describe a case of LBWC identified at 26 weeks of gestation, featuring a ”premature rupture of membranes” and exhibiting all the defining traits of this syndrome.
