Amniotic Band Syndrome: A Case Series

Srinivasan H, Dhungel P, Harper T and Lampley C

Three cases of amniotic band syndrome (ABS) were studied to highlight the clinicopathologic characteristics. The diagnosis was based on the following manifestations: cranio facial clefts; limb body wall defects and amniotic band attachment. All three cases were stillborn and associated with defects in the central nervous system, heart or gastrointestinal system. Phenotypic features included craniofacial clefting, thoracoabdominoschisis, amputation, ring constriction, amniotic band adhesion, placental adhesions, and internal malformations. When analyzing the phenotype in relation to their etiology, it was found that amniotic disruption, vascular disruption or genetic disruption could explain the amniotic band syndrome/limb body wall complexes, alone or in combinations.
