The article presents the problem of birth defects caused by amniotic bands (AB) amniotic band syndrome (ABS). This syndrome is of multifactorial origin, the incidence of diagnosis is 7,7:10 000 newborns. ABS is characterized by clinical heterogeneity: limb deformities (occur most frequently), head and brain abnormalities, rare cases of body disorders, omphalocele, etc. Fetal surgery through laser release of AB is described. In some cases ABS should be differentiated from Meckel syndrome, Edwards syndrome and other congenital diseases as well as neural tube defects. In case of ABS diagnosis in fetus as a result of ultrasound examination of a pregnant woman consultation of physicians (obstetriciangynaecologist, medical geneticist, specialist in ultrasound prenatal diagnostics, neonatologist surgeon) including pediatric orthopedist is needed to determine proper tactics of pregnancy management. Recurrence risks for future offspring of a woman whose child (or fetus in history) has had ABS as well as for the persons with ABS do not exceed 2 %.

Body stalk anomaly (BSA) and amniotic band syndrome (ABS) are rare similar fetal sporadic polymalformative syndromes of unknown etiology, though there are certain differences between them. BSA is a combination of developmental abnormalities involving neural tube, body wall, and the limbs with persistent extra embryonic coelomic cavity. ABS is characterized by the presence of thin membrane-like strands attached to fetal body parts and causing constrictions and amputations. This is a cohort study involving 32,100 patients who were referred for routine antenatal ultrasound scan. The data was entered prospectively into a computer database. The duration of study was 3 years. In our study, ultrasound examination in 86 patients demonstrated ventral wall defects, craniofacial defects, and spinal and limb deformities as isolated or combined abnormalities. In those, 10 patients were suspected/diagnosed as BSA/ABS including a twin of a dichorionic diamniotic gestation. The typical features of body stalk anomaly can be detected by ultrasound by the end of the first trimester, which is important for the patient counselling and management. We are presenting these rare conditions and highlighting the importance of early sonographic imaging in diagnosing and differentiating them from other anterior abdominal wall defects.

Anesthetic Considerations

With advances in ultrasound, birth defects are increasingly detected during pregnancy and may be amenable to surgical correction before delivery, to improve outcomes. This essential book discusses the different birth defects that can be treated during pregnancy and the important anesthetic considerations for the mother and fetus undergoing these procedures. Experts in the fields of anesthesiology, maternal fetal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics have come together to develop the content of this book. Enhanced throughout with full color images and illustrations, the book covers important topics such as spina bifida, twin-twin transfusion syndrome, sacrococcygeal teratoma, and lung masses, as well as fetal cardiac intervention, intrauterine transfusion, ex utero intrapartum treatment, and multidisciplinary approaches to fetal surgery. An invaluable guide for pediatric and obstetric anesthesiologists, anesthesiology, obstetrics, and surgical trainees, nurse anesthetists, and maternal-fetal medicine specialists.
