Disease relevance of Amniotic Band Syndrome

• These signs distinguish cloacal exstrophy from other types of midline anterior abdominal wall defects, ie, gastroschisis, amniotic band syndrome, and limb-body wall complex (body-stalk syndrome) [1].
• The authors present six consecutive cases of amniotic band syndrome with cleft lip and palate (facial cleft 3, 5, 7, and 10, isolated or combined) that were associated with other craniofacial anomalies, such as craniosynostosis and hypertelorbitism [2].

High impact information on Amniotic Band Syndrome

• Prenatal diagnosis of vasa previa presenting as amniotic band. 'A not so innocent amniotic band' [3].
• We present a case and review of the literature of an amniotic band causing malformation in the distal forearm in a baby born to a methadone-dependent mother [4].
• Amniotic band disruption syndrome associated with elevated amniotic AFP and normal acetylcholinesterase gel test [5].
• Lumbopedal skin pedicle in an infant with the amniotic band syndrome: a Disorganization-like defect [6]?
• To test the hypothesis that physical restricting forces such as amniotic bands can lead to the formation of these unusual clefts in the postorganogenesis period, we have modified a previously reported fetal lamb model of amniotic band syndrome to examine the effects of these bands on craniofacial development [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Amniotic Band Syndrome

• Amniotic band sequence in child of thalidomide victim [8].

Gene context of Amniotic Band Syndrome

• Amniotic band syndrome and strabismus [9].
• The amniotic band syndrome is the triad of amnion-denuded placenta; fetal attachment to or entanglement by amniotic remnants; and fetal deformation, malformation, or disruption [10].
