Abstract

Amniotic band syndrome is a rare disorder, which consists of a combination of malformations in which the main feature is the existence of an amniotic band that can envelop the limbs, the body wall, and/or the viscera. We report a case of an antenatal diagnosis of amniotic band syndrome in a 21-year-old female patient at 20 SA + 1 day, who had a medical abortion.

Keywords: Amniotic band syndrome; Antenatal diagnosis; Embryo-fetopathy.
