Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) comprises of a broad term for a group of congenital anomalies involving the limbs more often, but any other anatomic region of fetus could be involved. The prevalence of amniotic band has been reported from 0.19 to 8.1 per 10000 live births. Different theories exist for explaining the etiology of amniotic bands, but it has been considered to have a multifactorial etiology. Fetoscopic release of amniotic bands affecting one or more extremities can prevent limb loss or preserve limb function when distal fellow is still identifiable on preoperative ultrasound scans. Congenital anomalies of amniotic band syndrome will happen approximately in 77% of fetuses. There has been reported equal involvement between male and female. In general, we do not have osteomyelitis in neonates, but it would be connected to a long-term hospital admission and possible long‐term complications if not diagnosed on time. The long bones are the most frequently affected sites. Here we are introducing a neonate with left upper extremity necrosis due to ABS which needed amputation and it was associated with severe chronic osteomyelitis.
羊膜带综合征(Amniotic band syndrome, ABS)是一组先天性畸形的统称,通常累及肢体,但也可能累及胎儿的任何其他解剖区域。据报道,羊膜带的患病率从每10000例活产0.19例到8.1例。不同的理论存在解释羊膜带的病因,但它一直被认为有一个多因素的病因。胎儿镜下释放羊膜带影响一个或多个肢体可以防止肢体丧失或保留肢体功能,远端仍可识别术前超声扫描。大约77%的胎儿会发生羊膜带综合征的先天性异常。据报道,男性和女性的参与程度相同。一般来说,我们没有新生儿骨髓炎,但如果不能及时诊断,它将与长期住院和可能的长期并发症有关。长骨是最常受影响的部位。在这里,我们介绍一个新生儿由于ABS导致左肢坏死,需要截肢,并伴有严重的慢性骨髓炎。
