Amniotic band syndrome: a case series

Amniotic band syndrome: a case report.

A report is presented of a 45 day old female infant with congenital amputation of the great toe, complete constriction bands of the lower leg and fingers all of which are explained by congenital amniotic band syndrome. There is a brief review of the literature on the pathology and possible aetiology.

Amniotic Band Syndrome with the Involvement of Trunk: A Case Report

Amniotic Band Syndrome is a sporadic congenital disorder that may result in constriction bands, amputation and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. Its incidence is estimated at approximately 1:5000 to 1:10,000 pregnancies. Band formation most frequently affects the distal segments, including the hand. We report a case of constriction amniotic bands involving the trunk.

ABS is not very often, but should be considered in...
