A Review of Amniotic Band Syndrome

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by fibrous bands that entangle and constrict fetal limbs, causing various deformities and complications. ABS occurs due to amniotic sac damage, leading to fibrous band formation. Clinical features include limb deformities, craniofacial abnormalities, and gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract defects. Diagnosis is primarily prenatal via ultrasound. Management involves multidisciplinary care, including prenatal surgery, postnatal surgical reconstruction, and long-term rehabilitation.
