The objective of this study was to report 2 cases of tetra-amelia syndrome. The first case corresponded to a tetra-amelia-1 syndrome with, in addition, facial and probably pulmonary anomalies. He was born 36 weeks of gestation and died within the first 10 minutes of life. The second case had a tetra-amelia-2 phenotype with a symmetrical amelia. No other abnormalities were detected on ultrasound. Tetra-amelia syndrome is extremely rare; it is linked to genetic mutations that cause great phenotypic heterogeneity
