Abstract
Amniotic band syndrome (ABS), also known as Streeter's dysplasia refers to a continuous spectrum of manifestations due to intra-uterine rupture of amnion. 1 The manifestations range from simple soft tissue constrictive bands to amputation of digits or more severely the whole limb due to dysplastic vasculature. 1 The prevalence is estimated to be about 7.7/10,000 live births 2 and as high as 178/10,000 among abortuses. 3 We herein present two cases of amniotic band syndrome seen at theNiger Delta University Teaching Hospital(NDUTH) with the aim of highlighting its existence in the State as well as throwing light on the prenatal diagnostic challenges and the socio-economic problems faced by families living with physical disabilities.
