Abstract

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare disorder in which bands of mesoderm that emanate from the chorionic side of the amnion and insert on the fetal body can generate a wide variety of disfiguring and disabling malformations. It usually is sporadic, and the incidence is approximately 1 in 15,000 live births, and affected children typically require involvement of several pediatric surgical subspecialties. The authors describe a case of ABS with extensive craniofacial anomalies.
