Gollop-Wolfgang complex (GWC) is a rare musculoskeletal anomaly consisting of unilateral femur bifurcation, ipsilateral tibial agenesis, and ectrodactyly. Only very few authors have reported GWC in neonates and mostly with the involvement of unilateral lower limb. Herein, we report a very rare case of neonate having bilateral femoral bifurcation and bilateral tibial agenesis with intact fibula.
