Abstract

The Amniotic Band Syndrome is an uncommon congenital condition with multiple clinical presentations found in newborns. Treatment for symptomatic presentations is surgical resection of the band, reconstruction of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and sometimes amputations. This study reports three cases of amniotic band syndrome. Two of these were surgically treated and one was treated with conservative measures. Patients progressed satisfactorily after treatment initiation
