Abstract
Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital disorder which involves fetal entrapment in strands of amniotic tissue, which can manifest as constriction rings, limb and digital amputations or complex congenital anomalies and sometimes results in stillbirth. Etiopathogenesis is varied and ABS can be associated with syndromes. Antenatal diagnosis is made by ultrasonography in most cases. Postnatal examination reveals constrictions, amputations and craniofacial or abdominal wall defects. Treatment is case based and surgical intervention is required to release constriction rings. Authors report here six cases (one stillbirth and five live births) of amniotic band syndrome that were encountered over the last one and half years.
