Amniotic Band Syndrome – A Case Report

Abstract

Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) encompasses a wide spectrum of abnormalities, all of which result from the entrapment of various parts of the fetal body in the disrupted amniotic fluid. Because of the randomness of entrapment, each affected individual has the potential to develop a unique deficit. Termination of pregnancy is usually suggested at the time of diagnosis of severe abnormalities, while minor limb defects can be repaired by surgery after birth [1]. Here we report a case of amniotic band syndrome detected during fetal anomaly scan at 19w0d gestational age
