Abstract: Congenital constriction band is uncommon and usually requires no treatment for the milder form. The surgical release of the band through Z plasty is promising in those requiring intervention to avoid vascular complications and loss of the affected limb. Early presentation is therefore crucial. The purpose of this study is to report a male baby with late presentation who had amputation. The 1-week-old male baby presented with a swollen, dark, and painful left leg with CBS in the middle of the left leg that warranted amputation with a subsequent uneventful postoperative period. This case has highlighted the need for early presentation of such cases for assessment and prompt treatment to avoid complications, including loss of the affected limb.
