        The article focuses on the relationship between certain congenital malformations and their names inspired by mythological figures, specifically cyclopia and sirenomelia. Cyclopia, associated with the cyclops of Greek mythology, is a severe malformation characterized by a single central eye field due to defects in early facial development. Sirenomelia, linked to the mythological figure of the mermaid, is a rare and lethal congenital defect that involves the partial or total fusion of the lower limbs, related to vascular alterations and embryonic development disturbances. Additionally, the text highlights how art and cultural representations have documented these conditions, reflecting possible environmental exposures and genetic alterations throughout history.
        El artículo se centra en la relación entre ciertas malformaciones congénitas y sus nombres inspirados en figuras mitológicas, específicamente la ciclopía y la sirenomelia. La ciclopía, asociada al cíclope de la mitología griega, es una malformación grave caracterizada por un único campo ocular central debido a defectos en el desarrollo facial temprano. La sirenomelia, vinculada a la figura mitológica de la sirena, es un defecto congénito raro y letal que implica la fusión parcial o total de las extremidades inferiores, relacionado con alteraciones vasculares y del desarrollo embrionario. Además, el texto destaca cómo el arte y las representaciones culturales han documentado estas condiciones, reflejando posibles exposiciones ambientales y alteraciones genéticas a lo largo de la historia.
