Abstract

Constriction band syndrome is a relatively rare condition in which fetal parts become entangled in the amniotic membrane, leading to deformation, malformation and amputation. Ultrasonographic analysis allows prenatal detection of constriction band syndrome by visualization of amniotic bands attached to the fetus. Treatment of constriction band syndrome must be individualized, and ranges from cosmetic repair to emergency limb-sparing band release. We report an infant with deep amniotic bands who recived treatment with circumferential Z-plasty.
