Constriction rings syndrome

Constriction rings syndrome is a congenital limb malformation disorder with an extremely variable clinical presentation characterized by the presence of partial to complete, congenital, fibrous, circumferential, constriction bands/rings on any part of the body, although a particular predilection for the upper or lower extremities is seen. Phenotypes range from only a mild skin indentation to complete amputation of parts of the fetus (e.g. digits, distal limb). Compression from the rings may lead to edema, skeletal anomalies (e.g. fractures, foot deformities) and, infrequently, neural compromise.

Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) comprises fetal morphological abnormalities that may be associated with fibrous amniotic bands that damage developing fetal parts resulting in cutaneous scars, erosions and ulcerations, digital constricting bands, craniofacial and visceral anomalies.
