“…An obstetrician may face it once in his lifetime. In general, constriction band syndrome is a congenital condition with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations 8 . Depending on the severity and position of the constriction, the fetal defect varies from hand anomalies, ectopia cordis, congenital transverse deficiency, cleft lip, cleft palate, and facial cleft, etc.…”

“…Depending on the severity and position of the constriction, the fetal defect varies from hand anomalies, ectopia cordis, congenital transverse deficiency, cleft lip, cleft palate, and facial cleft, etc. Severely, a deep band may result in distal lymphedema, nerve compression, deformity, and acrosyndactyly 8 , 10 . In our case, intrauterine amputation was classified as stage 5 according to the prenatal classification of the stages of ABS affecting the limbs as proposed by Hüsler in 2009 and classified at grade 4 following Patterson criteria 11 , 12 .…”

“…An assessment of the correctability of the deformity is always very complicated, which is why a multidisciplinary team is required. Furthermore, a later reconstruction procedure was necessary 8 . In Vietnam, Hung reported the combined sine plasty/removal of fibrous groove and fasciotomy method on 84 infants with 121 constriction rings.…”

Introduction and Importance: Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) refers to fibrous bands that appear to entangle various fetal parts in utero, leading to deformation, malformation, or disruption. To alleviate implementation of this diverse malformation, an early diagnosis on ultrasound is necessary to explain to the patient, thus, avoiding psychological shock and requiring timely intervention. Case Presentation: In the present case report, the authors describe a case of ABS that was diagnosed at the time of delivery at full term. Although the male newborn was alive, the infant underwent the distal deformity of amputated limbs and clubfoot. He has currently been followed up for the reconstruction treatment. Clinical Discussion: ABS remains a challenging diagnosis for obstetricians following the onset timepoint. A prenatal ultrasound scan is carefully required to detect the morphologic abnormalities of the fetus. Postnatal management should be integrated by a multidisciplinary team in order to improve the infant’s outcome. Conclusion: ABS is an extremely dangerous entity during pregnancy, which leads to poor outcomes for the infant. An early detection on ultrasound helps in preparing better for the acceptance of the mother and the family as well as the prognosis afterwards.

“…Symbrachydactyly is an anomaly of the hand caused by Poland sequence or other similar anomalies of vascular disruption that affects all fingers unilaterally. Unlike ABS, the nail structure is present because ectodermal development is not affected in symbrachydactyly (19,20). Fetal cases involving hand abnormalities should be referred to a perinatologist and clinical geneticist for further evaluation and counselling (21).…”

Objective:The aim of this study was to present and investigate fetal cases with hand anomalies by discussing their antenatal and postmortem findings. Materials and Methods:This retrospective review re-evaluates fetal cases identified antenatally with hand anomalies including polydactyly, syndactyly, reduction defects, and oligodactyly. The following data were collected from the patients' medical records: Demographic information, family histories, X-ray images, photographs, and cytogenetic/molecular findings. The study also performed a chromosome analysis, array-comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), and Sanger sequencing of FGFR2 and GLI3 genes.Results: This study involved 18 cases with hand anomalies, all of which were diagnosed antenatally. Three cases were diagnosed with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly, Apert Syndrome, and triploidy, respectively.Conclusions: Fetal ultrasonography is the most valuable tool for providing prenatal diagnosis. Prenatal detection of hand anomalies causes great anxiety for parents; therefore, making an accurate diagnosis list is important for the prenatal period. Prenatal diagnosis and management of hand anomalies must involve a multidisciplinary team composed of a perinatologist, a clinical geneticist, and a hand surgeon.
