Constrictive amniotic bands, amniotic adhesions, and limb‐body wall complex: Discrete disruption sequences with pathogenetic overlap
15 Feb 1992
Abstract excerpt
In a fetopathologic evaluation of 18 cases with amniotic bands, we discerned 3 types of lesions: (1) constrictive tissue bands, (2) amniotic adhesions, and (3) more complex anomaly patterns, designated as limb-body wall complex (LBWC). Constrictive bands are caused by primary amnion rupture with subsequent entanglement of fetal parts (mostly limbs) by shriveled amniotic strands. Adhesive bands are the result of a...
