“…When not diagnosed until postpartum, bands that interfere with drainage of the limb resulting in venous congestion or lymphedema can produce extreme pain, due to peripheral nerve compression requiring early surgical intervention repeated over several stages to improve long-term function [1, 28, 30–33]. …”

Introduction. Amniotic band syndrome and sequence are a relatively rare condition in which congenital anomalies occur as a result of the adherence and entrapment of fetal parts with coarse fibrous bands of the amniotic membrane. A large percentage of reported cases have an atypical gestational history. The frequency of this obstetric complication is not affected by fetal gender, genetic abnormality, or prenatal infection. Case. A 21-year-old, G1P0 female parturient at 18 weeks and 5 days with a single intrauterine gestation during a routine ultrasound evaluation was noted to have amniotic band sequence. The pregnancy was subsequently complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes with oligohydramnios, resulting in a surviving neonate scheduled for rehabilitative treatment. Conclusion. Amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon congenital anomaly resulting in multiple disfiguring and disabling manifestations. Several theories are proposed with most involving early rupture of the amnion and entanglement of fetal parts by amniotic bands. This syndrome can be manifested by development of multiple malformations, with the majority of the defects being limb abnormalities of a disorganized nature, as in the case we present. In the absence of a clear etiology of consequential congenital abnormalities, obstetric management guidelines should use shared decision models to focus on the quality of life for the offspring.

“…In the case of tight constriction bands, resulting in gross lymphedema, vascular compromise, or both, immediate surgical release is necessary [18]. The mainstay of treatment in ABS is plastic and reconstructive surgery [22]. However, in-utero surgeries are becoming increasingly popular with the advent of advanced imaging techniques [18,22].…”

Proper development and neurophysiological maturation of these primary reflexes not only support the sensory and motor systems but also cognitive, behavioral, language [1,[5][6][7] and neuroimmunity development [11]. AbstractIntroduction: MNRI offers non-invasive neuromodulating techniques to activate reflex patterns which awaken the body's natural resources and support the functioning of sensory, motor, and cognitive systems.Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital disorder attributed to the anomalous amniotic bands that entangle fetal parts during intrauterine life leading to a wide range of physical abnormalities in a newborn infant, in this case, located at the superior third portion of the right arm. Due to the severity of the constricting band observed and assessed at birth, the microvascular surgeon opted for immediate post-birth surgery and Occupational and Physical Therapies were respectively initiated at 8 and 10 weeks post-surgery.Objective: This article describes early physical therapy intervention (post-surgery) using the MNRI method and discusses the effectiveness of MNRI techniques in the recovery of arm function.Results: Early intervention using the MNRI neuromodulation techniques with ABS disorder demonstrated new potentials and possibilities for existing therapy modalities allowing unique and faster motor milestone development. These results demonstrated voluntary motor and cognitive control of the immobile limb in an infant with ABS. Summary:The use of the ready patterns of the brain-primary inherent reflexes can be a key method and an important cornerstone for professionals to build upon for infants with ABS.

El síndrome de banda amniótica es una condición rara1 que tiene una prevalencia de 1 en 1200, es un espectro que incluye afectación de las extremidades, la región cráneo facial y del tronco, que puede encontrarse aislado o en combinación. Se debe aclarar que la presencia de las bandas no es necesario para el diagnóstico, es decir, pueden estar ausentes. Otro nombre que recibe esta patología es Complejo Deformidad Amniótica, Adherencias y Mutilaciones (ADAM complex1 por sus siglas en inglés). Esta afectación ocurre generalmente entre el día 28 a la semana 18 de gestación, aunque puede haber afectaciones después de esta edad gestacional. Algunas teorías sugieren causas intrínsecas, extrínsecas o iatrogénicas2. Cuando se realiza el diagnóstico de forma oportuna se pueden brindar pautas de tratamiento que posibiliten la liberación de las bandas (cirugía fetal)3 El pronóstico y el tratamiento dependen de la severidad de la deformación y generalmente requieren tratamientos reconstructivos extensos. Si la lesión se asocia a otras patologías como la secuencia Potter, la condición se hace incompatible con la vida4, aunque no hay una asociación directa con esta última enfermedad. No existe un aumento del riesgo de recurrencia, ni en la incidencia de anormalidades cromosómicas o síndromes genéticos asociados a las bandas amnióticas.Esta patología puede involucrar anormalidades cráneofaciales como hendidura facial, hendidura palatina, microftalmia, así como también disrupciones de la formación del cráneo, ocasionando otros defectos como anencefalia y encefalocele entre otras. Finalmente, el síndrome de banda amniótica puede tener múltiples presentaciones y el tratamiento para cada paciente debe individualizarse, para brindar el mejor abordaje como se sugiere actualmente5.
