Amniotic bands sequence is a inherited diseases distinguished by craniofacial, body wall, and limb oddities that may be in relation with foetal-placental fibrous bands. Its pervasiveness has been delineated to range from 0.19 to 8.1 per 10 000 births [1]. It is a customary state prospectively alike with a variety of different confinements’ disability. The deformities arise in the wake of the pompous bodily part have formed usually in early evolution. The required cause of amniotic disruption complex is undisclosed .The three most usual decorative design are constriction ring syndrome signalized by one or more limbs being high-flown; the limb-body- wall complex; and amniotic band syndrome characterized by abnormalities of the head and face (craniofacial abnormalities), inadequacies of the brain and genuine deformation of the appendages [2]. The condition in few cases might be considered prior to nativity (antepartum), unlikely to change upon the sequels of explicit detailed imaging practices, like fetal USG, which may give away the feature inadequacies [3]. Here we present a case of pregnant woman admitted in our Obstetrics and gynecological department with her ultrasonography report indicative of amniotic band and further discussed about antenatal diagnosis, diagnostic and therapeutic approach, prognosis and genetic counselling of amniotic disruption complex.

Background: Amniotic band sequence (ABS) is a set of congenital malformations attributed to amniotic bands that entangle fetal parts during intrauterine life. thiopatogenesis of this sequence is still unknown. Because of such a wide spectrum of possible anomalies and many combinations of their simultaneous appearance, there are no two identical cases of ABS. This diagnosis is often missed based on the secondary major defects.Patients and Methods : There are cases of cleft patients treated in Plastic Surgery Division Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital that has other congenital anomalies. The data is taken from the medical record and surgical photos (in our division from 2010-2011). Results : The patients presented had either facial cleft or cleft lip and palate. These patients had other congenital anomalies such as meningoencephalocele and constriction ring syndrome or other defects on the extremities.Summary : This diagnosis may not be often established because we often only see the secondary major defects such as meningoencephalocele or facial cleft. With this paper we hope that we could make this diagnosis known so we can make a multidisciplinary approach to this sequence.

A male baby was delivered by Caesarean section at term to a 35 years second gravida lady with fibroid uterus. The mother was booked and immunized and not on any medication. Antenatal and natal periods including serial ultrasounds were normal. At birth the neonate was observed to have multiple grooves over ring & middle index finger of left hand and hypoplasia of left little finger. Both great toes were amputated. In view of asymmetrical involvement, presence of amniotic bands, no other organ involvement and sporadic nature, he was diagnosed as a case of amniotic band sequence. Congenital amputations should be distinguished from congenital hypoplasia and/or aplasia. Differentiation is important for genetic counselling and evaluation of the risk of recurrence. Keywords: Amniotic Bands, Intrauterine Amputation, Intrauterine Constriction Rings.
