Amniotic band syndrome.
Amniotic band syndrome results from a tear in the amnion, due to unknown etiology, which allows amniotic fluid and fetal parts to escape from the amnion into the chorion. Defects resulting from amniotic band syndrome are described. Management of the infant by a multidisciplinary, team approach is advised. Areas for further research are recommended.
