Abstract
|
|
|
The amniotic band syndrome (ABS)( is the triad of amnion-denuded placenta; fetal attachment to or entanglement by amniotic remnants ; and fetal deformation, malformation, or disruption. Nearly 10% of amniotic bands include umbilical cord
strangulation.
Cord entanglement may occur before or after other damage to the fetus by amniotic bands and, if severe, may result in cord strangulation and fetal death. Amniotic bands are very rarely encountered at near-term pregnancy. Because of the apparent
rarity
of this condition, the following case is reported. We had experienced a case of intrauterine fetal death at term caused by strangulation of umbilical cord by amniotic band and presented with a brief review of literature.
