ongenital amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is an anomaly with no proven etiology occurring in 0.7 per 10,000 live births. 1 This defect mostly concerns the extremities and is often accompanied by other developmental anomalies. 2 There are many methods of treatment for this type of defect. [3][4][5] The literature most often describes cases of treated children. There are no case reports of ABS treatment in adults. However, failure to undertake such treatments in childhood may result in serious mental dysfunction. [6][7][8][9] Here, we present a rare case of ABS in an adult patient and describe our management approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
