The amniotic band is a structure formed like a rope or a
curtain formed as a result of the folding of the amniotic membrane filled with
amniotic fluid in which the baby is located. It is reported that amnıotıc band
syndrome is about 1 in 1200 in pregnancies. This band can sometimes cause
various problems for the baby, but mostly the baby is born without any
problems.
Many different expressions such as ADAM complex (amniotic
deformity, adhesion, mutilation), amniotic band sequence, amniotic distuption
complex, congenital amputation, congenital contract band, and transverse
terminal defect can be used instead of amniotic band syndrome.
Babies with amniotic band are mostly born without any harm.
However, in some pregnancies, blood circulation is disrupted due to the
insertion of the arms and legs of the fetus into the amniotic band, and
conditions such as edema, shortening or deformity or rupture may occur in the
limbs.
Although there is nothing that can be done for treatment,
interventions such as cutting the bands in the womb are experimental but not
practiced.
