Abstract:
The amniotic band syndrome is a collection of fetal malformations associated with fibrous band that appears to entangle or entrap various fetal part, in utero, leading to deformation, malformation or disruption. Its pathogenesis has been debated in the literature for many years. The associated anomalies vary from minor limb anomalies to major craniofacial defects and visceral defects. We experienced a case of limb anomalies due to amniotic band and present the findings with a brief review of literature.
