Abstract

The amniotic band syndrome is a collection of fetal malformation associated with fibrous bands that appears to entangle or entrap various fetal parts in utero, leading to deformation, malformation, or disruption. Its pathogenesis has been still debated in the literature for many years. The associated anomalies vary from minor limb anomalies to major craniofacial defect, and visceral defects. We had experienced a case of limb anomalies due to amniotic band and presented with a brief review of literature.

Key Words: Amniotic band, Limb anomalies
