SUMMARY:Fryns syndrome is a rare multiple congenital anomaly syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by congenital diaphragmatic hernia, unusual facial features and distal limb abnormalities. Here we report a case of monozygotic twins with Fryns syndrome of consanguine parents with normal first child. The mother with 20 weeks of gestation having hyperemesis was referred from a primary health centre to the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at our hospital with polyhydramnios detected in ultrasonogram. Detailed ultrasound was done and after finding that both babies having multiple congenital anomalies, emergency caeserian section was done. The malformations in the twins suggestive of Fryns syndrome.

Background Search and research provides the basic feed for academic knowledge across all academic departments. Research provides depth in the knowledge of a given area of exploration. One novel and interesting idea of an individual, or a team of experts, in the department and healthy, extended support from the institute can change and answer the stream of mysteries in their own field of expertise. Aim We intend to analyze the research experience of every individual in the department of anatomy among themselves, with the department and the institute, for further improvement of research in anatomy. Methodology  13 participants comprising 9 faculty members and 4 postgraduates were requested to answer the questionnaire composed of three sections, with questions under headings such as individual, department, and institute. Results and Conclusion Finally, analyses were made on the responses obtained and recommendations were submitted before the department Head for necessary interventions in order to improve the research atmosphere and research outcomes in the department of anatomy.
