Abstract
Derived from the Greek word triskeles meaning three legs, the triskele is an ancient symbol made up of three spirals or three legs joined at the centre. A supernumerary limb, or polymelia, is a rare congenital anomaly in humans and this article presents the case of a term infant born with a limb-like appendage attached to the medial aspect of the left thigh.
