[Pierre-Joseph-Cécilien Simonart (1816-1847) and the problem of amniotic bands].
Pierre-Joseph-Cécilien Simonart (1816-1847) was an obstetrician and an anatomist in the Université libre de Bruxelles. He described and analyzed the "amniotic bands" and their effects on the fetus. In this contribution, we situate his work in the evolution of the knowledge relative to this pathology.
