Phocomelia is a rare congenital condition where a baby is born with severely shortened limbs or missing limbs altogether. This condition can affect the arms, legs, or both, leading to significant physical challenges. Phocomelia can occur due to genetic factors or environmental influences, such as exposure to certain medications during pregnancy, like thalidomide. The severity of phocomelia varies from person to person. Some individuals may have small, underdeveloped limbs, while others may have limbs that are completely absent. Early intervention and supportive therapies can help those with phocomelia improve their mobility and quality of life, allowing them to lead fulfilling lives despite their challenges.
