title: A case of amniotic band syndrome with cleft lip and palate.
abstract: The patient was a 5-day-old boy born at 37 weeks and 4 days. At birth, an amniotic band encircling and constricting his left middle finger was noted, in addition to multiple anomalies including a right-side cleft lip and palate, a club foot, and syndactyly on the left hand. We performed cheiloplasty at 5 months, and palatoplasty at 18 months.
