Amniotic constriction band, first described in 1832 by Montgomery1, is one term used to describe a wide range of associated congenital anomalies, including anular constrictions of multiple extremities, oligodactyly, acrosyndactyly, talipes equinovarus, cleft lip and cleft palate, and hemangiomas. Additional, less common clinical manifestations include complete absence of the limb, short umbilical cord, craniofacial disruptions, neural tube defects, cranial defects, scoliosis, and body-wall defects, such as gastroschisis and extrathoracic heart. Some of these manifestations are uncommonly noted at birth because they result in spontaneous abortion2-5.
