Amnion rupture sequence in Jamaica. A report on two cases.
Two cases of amnion rupture sequence resulting in grossly malformed stillborn infants are described. One baby had marked craniofacial defects while the other had a combination of craniofacial, abdominal wall and limb abnormalities. These are the first such cases to be reported in the English-speaking Caribbean; and aspects of the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical and pathological features are discussed.
