Cyclopia and symmelia present a number of similarities: 1) They would appear to arise by neither fusion nor merging but mainly through a failure in lateralization. 2) Mesenchymal deficiency is important in both: possibly disturbance of the prechordal plate in cyclopia and failure of the caudal eminence in symmelia. The caudal eminence is an important developmental feature that is only recently becoming clearer in the human embryo. 3) Disturbance of axial material seems to be essential in both. 4) The results of experimental teratogenesis and an analysis of normal human development confirm that these conditions arise early. The teratogenetic termination\u2010periods in the human are probably 21\/2 weeks for cyclopia sensu stricto (a median eye in a single orbit) and 3 weeks for cyclopia sensu lato, i.e., synophthalmia (paired ocular structures in a single orbit); 2 1\/2 weeks for symmelia of the upper limbs (e.g., in cephalothoracopagus) and 3 1\/2 weeks for symmelia of the lower limbs in a single individual. It is pointed out that in symmelia the limb buds, upper or lower, have failed to separate at their postaxial margins. This is in contrast to dimelia, in which the preaxial borders are missing and the postaxial margins are duplicated (postaxial dominance).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/tera.1420400502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,6,11]],"date-time":"2005-06-11T15:45:26Z","timestamp":1118504726000},"page":"409-421","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["Interpretation of some median anomalies as illustrated by cyclopia and symmelia"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Ronan","family":"O'Rahilly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fabiola","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000143319"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00523612"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tera.1420380513"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/tera.1420360104"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0012-1606(87)90118-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"27","volume-title":"Sammlung zwangloser Abhandlungen aus dem Gebiete der Psychiatrie und Neurologie","author":"Degenhardt K.\u2010H.","year":"1964"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","first-page":"226","article-title":"A sirenomelian monster","volume":"14","author":"Dodek S.","year":"1950","journal-title":"J.
