Abstract:IntroductionCongenital peripheral constriction ring originating from soft tissues of the leg that is characterized with compression in the soft tissue usually involving the deep fascia surrounding the leg at the time of birth is occasionally observed in lower extremity. At the region of the constriction, fractures of tibia and fibula and foot deformities like clubfoot can be observed.Case presentationIn our report, 6-month and 8-month old infants with congenital constriction band and ipsilateral clubfoot were … Show more
“…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.

“…6 Only one previous report mentions use of Ponseti method for the clubfoot associated with congenital constriction bands. 8 In that report, 7 casts were given to both children aged 6 and 8 months before a tendoachilles tenotomy was done under general anesthesia. The release of constriction bands was performed 6 months later.…”
deformitesinin oluştuğunu belirterek, bu teorinin yanlış olduğunu öne sürmüştür.[2] Pozisyonel PEV'de deformite, tipik olarak esnektir ve seri alçılama sayesinde hızla düzeltilebilir. Pozisyonel PEV ile diğer PEV türle-rini ayırt eden en önemli gösterge, deformitenin el ile geçici olarak düzeltilebilir olmasıdır.
