Abstract

Since it has been proposed that chorionic villus sampling could be an etiology of limb reduction defect, the relation between limb defect and chorionic villus sampling remains controversial. We experienced a case of limb reduction defect after chorionic villus sampling at 9 gestational weeks and report the case with brief review of literature.
