“…5 Cranial-placental adhesions are rare but have been documented in the literature. 3,[7][8][9][10][11]13 These cases are described in association with meningoceles, encephaloceles, or major craniofacial defects-all of which were absent in the present case. In most of the former cases, the patient was either stillborn or died shortly after birth.…”

Amniotic band sequence is a disruption sequence having a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from partial amputations to major craniofacial and limb-body wall defects. Most reported cases of placental-cerebral adhesion pertain to patients with severe craniofacial defects who were either stillborn or who died a few hours after birth. The authors present a case of a male infant born with a placental-cerebral adhesion through a cranial defect. This adhesion was separated at birth, and duraplasty and primary scalp closure were performed. A detailed examination of the placenta revealed the presence of multiple amniotic bands. The case demonstrates that survival and normal early post-natal development are possible if the condition is treated promptly.

“…Torpin's [11] theory concluded that these malformations were exogenous in nature and the result of entanglements with mesodermal bands. Similarly, the exact mechanisms for the development of placento-cranial adhesions are still unknown; however, some factors may be primarily responsible for its development, such as a short umbilical cord, the presence of encephalocele and intrauterine trauma [3,7] .…”

Placento-Cranial Adhesions in Amniotic Band Syndrome and the Role of Surgery in Their Management: An Unusual Case Presentation and Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2015

Amniotic band syndrome is a group of sporadic congenital anomalies that involve the limbs, craniofacial regions and trunk, ranging from simple digital band constriction to complex craniofacial and central nervous system abnormalities. Placento-cranial adhesions in amniotic band syndrome are extremely rare, and severe conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In this study, we pooled placento-cranial adhesion case reports that were published in the medical literature and added an unpublished case from our institution. The purpose of this article was to review and discuss the clinical features and outcomes of placento-cranial adhesions in amniotic band syndrome.

“…Cranial-placental adhesions have been infrequently described (Woyton, 1961; Liban and Abramovici, 1972; Purohit et al, 1977; Rau, 1977; Biswas et al, 1985) and have been even less frequently described in conjunction with ABS (Poland and Miller, 1974; Seeds et al, 1982; Moerman et al, 1992) or acrania (Mrozewski et al, 1971; Kubicki et al, 1981; Reddy et al, 1991; Kowalcyzk et al, 1997; Cinocore et al, 2003) through isolated case reports. In most cases, the patient was stillborn or died shortly following delivery.…”

Amniotic band sequence (ABS) is a condition in which rupture of the amniotic sac leads to the development of a broad spectrum of fetal anomalies. A newborn male presented at term with multiple craniofacial and skeletal anomalies, including attachment of the placenta to the head, a paramedian facial cleft, and multiple skeletal anomalies. The patient has undergone several operations to date. The initial operation was performed to remove the attached placenta off the underlying dura, which was with a collagen matrix bound to a silicone membrane. The patient subsequently underwent split-thickness skin grafting with complete survival of the graft.
