title: Amniotic band syndrome with limb amputation after exposure to mifepristone in early pregnancy.
abstract: To date, the number of cases reported after exposure to mifepristone alone in early pregnancy is limited. In 24 cases, only 1 observation of fetal malformation associated with mifepristone has previously been reported. We report a case of amniotic band syndrome with limb amputation after exposure to mifepristone in early pregnancy. This association raises the question of a possible causal relationship.
