Abstract
Amniotic band disease (ABD) is a complex and relatively rare set of birth defects. These malformations mainly concern the limbs, the craniofacial region and the thoracoabdominal axis. The severity of these malformations is highly variable, starting from isolated skin furrows to visceral malformations that are often incompatible with life. The prognosis of ABD in the presence of craniofacial and visceral polymalformations is known and bleak. The situation is quite different in the case of superficial and isolated constriction of a limb. A medical termination of pregnancy is generally advised in the presence of severe craniofacial and visceral malformations, while isolated malformations of the limbs are accessible to surgical treatment at birth. We reported 1 case of ABD.
