There is a wide spectrum of deformities caused by amniotic bands, being the extremities the most common location. The constriction band in the abdomen is a rare location for constriction band syndrome. We report a case of congenital circumferential constriction band of abdomen without other malformations. The condition did not affect ventilation, feeding, bowel movements, or growth. Multiple Z-plasties were planned in the abdomen before the first month from birth. We reviewed the literature emphasizing on the clinical presentation and management of this rare clinical entity.
Key words: Amniotic band syndrome, Constriction, Abdomen, Surgical flaps, Reconstructive procedures. |
