Cephalomelus

/ˌsɛf.ə.loʊˈmɛl.əs/ noun

Definition

A congenital birth defect where one or more limbs are attached to or fused with the head region instead of the body.

Etymology

From Greek kephalē (head) + melos (limb, member). This medical term describes a rare and severe developmental abnormality identified in teratology (the study of birth defects).

Kelly Says

Cephalomelis is so rare that most doctors never see one case in their entire career—it demonstrates how development normally requires precise instructions, and when something goes catastrophically wrong, body parts can end up in completely wrong places.
