Limb body wall complex and amniotic band sequence in sibs

Abstract: We report on a woman who gave birth consecutively to an infant with limb body wall complex (LBWC) and then to an infant with amniotic band sequence (ABS). This paper reviews the different etiological hypotheses and the classification problems for the amniotic band diseases. No maternal factors were found, but this clinical report suggests further research in this direction, as well as the need to look more closely at the relation between LBWC and ABS.

“…33,39 Hartwig et al 37 also suggested the possibility of familial recurrence, which was considered in other case reports. 6 reported an association between fetal amniotic adhesions and multiple malformations, which predominately occurred in the same area and on the same side, thus supporting the theory of amniotic adhesions as the initial factor. Romero et al 48 maintained that ABS was generated by the early rupture of amniotic and chorionic membranes and also proposed that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition was a factor that could contribute to ABS pathogenesis.…”

“…5,6 Anomalies are limited to external structures with or without body wall disruption or internal malformations that vary in severity and location. [7][8][9] Some authors consider ABS separately from the limb-body wall complex (LBWC), body wall defects (BWD) or the body wall complex (BWC), [10][11][12] whereas others believe these are all part of the same disease.…”

“…Les malformations qui intéressent principalement les extrémités mais aussi le crâne, la face et l'axe thoraco-abdominal peuvent se rencontrer sous deux formes: la maladie des brides amniotiques (MBA) et le syndrome Limb Body Wall Complex (LBWC) [1]. La pathogénie du SBA n'est toujours pas clairement établie mais deux théories sont proposées pour l'expliquer: d'une part, la théorie exogène par rupture de l'amnios conduisant à des bandes fibreuses qui vont stranguler le corps du fœtus et, d'autre part, la théorie endogène qui privilégie l'atteinte vasculaire [2, 3].…”

“…Si las bandas amnióticas se producen antes del día 45 posterior a la fecundación, pueden interferir con el desarrollo de estructuras y órganos en formación, interrumpiendo la embriogénesis, afectando los plegamientos craneal caudal y transversal, produciéndose defectos en la pared toraco-abdominal, en el cierre del tubo neural, en la formación de la cara con la fusión de los 5 primordios faciales y el crecimiento, y segmentación de las yemas de las extremidades (24,25). Esta asociación se conoce en la literatura como complejo cuerpo-extremidad, síndrome del tallo corporal o, en inglés, limb body wall complex (LBWC) (17,26,27).…”

“…El SBA consiste en un conjunto de anomalías congénitas secundarias al efecto destructivo de una banda de tejido amniótico que se adhiere al embrión o feto en desarrollo, que puede producir anillos de constricción o amputaciones usualmente distales en extremidades (13)(14)(15)(16). Con menor frecuencia se ha asociado a defectos de la pared toraco-abdominal, exencefalia/acranea, con o sin hendidura facial, y anormalidades de las extremidades; esta asociación se conoce como complejo cuerpo-extremidad, síndrome del tallo corporal o LBWC (del inglés limb body wall complex) (17)(18)(19).…”
