Abstract

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a fetal and neonatal condition whereby the lining of the amniotic sac is compromised and may have an impact on neonatal morbidity and mortality. Whilst it is uncommon and is outside the scope of practice for the midwife to treat, the role of the midwife is essential in these circumstances. This article provides a brief overview of cause, diagnosis, care and treatment of these neonates. The inconsistencies in the currently accessible literature are discussed.
