Amniotic Band Syndrome also known as amniotic band sequence(ABS) is a group of congenital birth defects caused by entrapment of fetal parts in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero. Other synonyms are ADAM complex, Congenital constriction bands and Pseudoainhum . Defects usually involves longer central digits of the hand (middle, long, and index fingers). Up to 50% of cases have other congenital anomalies including cleft lip, cleft palate, and clubfoot deformity.But here we present a rare case of ABS with lumbar meningocele.Downloads
