Spontaneous resolution of amniotic bands

Abstract: The amniotic band syndrome comprises a group of sporadic congenital anomalies characterized by amputations, constriction bands, pseudosyndactylism and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1200 to 1 in 15 000 live births. Some of the cases present with congenital anomalies that are incompatible with life, but a selected group shows isolated limb constrictions. Repeated sonographic examinations afforded us the opportunity of observing the in utero process of limb… Show more

“…A wide array of outcomes has been described in ABS, ranging from spontaneous resolution to limb strangulation and subsequent autoamputation. As spontaneous resolution has been reported 14 , expectant management with close surveillance of fetal wellbeing appears to be appropriate in cases in which neither life nor limb is threatened. Abnormal but present arterial Doppler flow to the distal limb and swelling have been suggested as the important specifications for fetuses that may benefit from a fetal procedure.…”

“…Una vez se produce la banda amniótica esta se adhiere al embrión o feto en desarrollo, lo que puede producir constricción sobre estructuras ya formadas y llevar a una disminución del aporte sanguíneo a los tejidos implicados, dejando cicatrices en forma de anillos en partes distales de dedos o regiones proximales como brazo y muslo, o medias como antebrazo o pierna, pudiéndose en ocasiones producir amputación de esas estructuras (13,14). El caso aquí reportado presentó hallazgos similares en el miembro inferior derecho.…”

“…El SBA consiste en un conjunto de anomalías congénitas secundarias al efecto destructivo de una banda de tejido amniótico que se adhiere al embrión o feto en desarrollo, que puede producir anillos de constricción o amputaciones usualmente distales en extremidades (13)(14)(15)(16). Con menor frecuencia se ha asociado a defectos de la pared toraco-abdominal, exencefalia/acranea, con o sin hendidura facial, y anormalidades de las extremidades; esta asociación se conoce como complejo cuerpo-extremidad, síndrome del tallo corporal o LBWC (del inglés limb body wall complex) (17)(18)(19).…”

“…El síndrome de bridas amnióticas (SBA) abarca un amplio espectro de alteraciones congénitas que se caracterizan por anillos de constricción, pseudosindactilia, amputaciones y menos frecuentemente múltiples defectos craneofaciales, viscerales y alteraciones en la pared abdomino-toráxica 1 . Su incidencia varía entre 1 en 1.200 a 1 en 15.000 recién nacidos vivos [1][2][3][4] , y en abortos espontáneos puede llegar a ser de 178 en 10.000.…”
