“…Some circumstances such as amniocentesis (16), collagen disea.se (17)(18)(19). and uterine malformation (20) may predispose to amniotic bands. The frequent as.sociation of constriction band of the trunk with gemellar pregnancies raises the question of twinning as a risk factor for this peculiar location, but the limited number of ca.ses available does not allow the exclusion of a statistical bias.…”

Constriction band of the trunk is a rare congenital malformation. A 2-year-old girl with a congenital circumferential constriction band around the waist is described. Six other cases of congenital constriction band of the trunk are reviewed. Like constriction band of the limbs, this malformation is probably related to the amniotic band syndrome. Surgical correction should be considered carefully because natural evolution is usually benign and the postoperative esthetic benefit may be questionable. There is no evidence of any risk of familial recurrence.

“…Seeds, et al 6 summarized the possible causes of this syndrome, such as "impressions" on the mother, gangrene of the lost part, abnormal disposition of amnion, and so on. In 1984, Sachdev, et al 7 reported amniotic band syndrome of a pregnant woman with an incompetent cervix. They suggested that premature rupture of the membrane associated with an incompetent cervix was possibly related to the cause of the syndrome.…”
