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

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.
full textManagement of the Amniotic Band Syndrome with Cleft Palate: Literature Review and Report of a Case
Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) is a group of congenital malformations that includes the majority of typical constriction rings and limb and digital amputations, together with major craniofacial, thoracic, and abdominal malformations. The syndrome is caused by early rupture of the amniotic sac. Some of the main oral manifestations include micrognathia, hyperdontia, and cleft lip with or without cl...
full textA case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma.
An autopsy case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma is described. The left eye reveals a complex choristoma and the right eye a dermis-like choristoma. Both choristomatous lesions included lenticular tissue suggesting that rupture of the amnion, which is the initial event of amniotic band syndrome, might have occurred at about the fourth week of gestation. Since the ot...

Abstract A 2.5 year old girl is presented with both hands constriction bands leading to distal amputations and the rare deformity of shoulder duplication in the right side accompanying constriction skin marking over the affected shoulder. The cephalomedial scapula articulated with the clavicle and the caudolateral scapula articulated with humeral head. The most important physical finding which...

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is an uncommon congenital malformation characterized by clubfoot deformity, hand and finger anomalies, and cleft lip and palate. In this study, the literature about ABS—possible etiology, treatment protocols, and medical procedures—is discussed. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficiency of nasoalveolar molding therapy for a patient with cleft lip and palate a...
full textIntegration of three-dimensional ultrasonography in the prenatal diagnosis of amniotic band syndrome: A case report.
Amniotic band syndrome is a rare disorder which is thought to be caused by early rupture of the amniotic membrane. The extent of the disease may vary from minor digital amputations to severe lethal anomalies. For many years in routine clinical practice, this syndrome has been diagnosed with two-dimensional ultrasonography. Evolving imaging techniques by means of three-dimensional ultrasonograph...
