Abstract:
Extra-amniotic pregnancy, which is caused by rupture of amniotic membranes only, is a rare event during pregnancy. This differs from extra-membranous pregnancy in which both chorionic and amniotic membranes rupture. Extra-amniotic pregnancy requires attention by an obstetrician not to miss fetal anomalies because extra-amniotic pregnancy may accompany with fibrous band syndrome. We experienced a case of extraamniotic pregnancy with congenital amputation of bilateral fetal hands. And we report it with brief review of literatures.
