TOTAL CIRCULAR CONGENITAL ABDOMINAL AMNIOTIC BAND

Dr. Syamantak Basu

Abstract :

Introduction: Congenital amniotic band syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality causing multiple disfiguring and disabling manifestations. The most common affection occurs at the lower extremities. A total circular congenital amniotic band syndrome of the trunk is an even more rare condition. The incidence varied from 1 in 20000 live births. Here, we report a neonate with a total circular congenital amniotic band of the abdomen with another on the right leg. Case: A female neonate, with an uneventful prenatal period, presented on first day of life with a constriction band around the lower abdomen with loss of intervening skin and subcutaneous tissue with a similar band over the mid–part of right leg with bilateral Congenital Talipes Equinovarus. X–ray images of abdomen and lower limbs showed soft tissue loss over the affected area without any affection of the muscle and bones.
