[Amniotic disease. Apropos of a series of 20 cases].
Twenty patients with congenital constriction band syndrome are reviewed. Clinical manifestations and associated anomalies were analyzed with attention directed to distribution of the involvement and course of treatment. Constriction bands, amputation, and acrosyndactyly are the main clinical manifestations of the syndrome. Involvement of the distal portions of the extremity is most common, and the central digits are more frequently affected. Clubfoot deformity is the most frequently associated anomalies, those, associated, with deep constriction band at the below knee level are more severe and were due to compression neuropathy.
