Preferred Label : Amniotic bands;
ICD-11 definition : Amniotic bands are developmental anomalies thought to be due to a rupture of the amnion
during the first trimester of gestation, resulting in adhesions leading to annular
constrictions, and bands between torn amnion and chorionic mesenchyme. Besides annular
constrictions, pseudo-syndactyly, intra-uterine amputations, and umbilical cord constrictions
may also be seen. In addition, the decrease in amniotic fluid and/or a possible tethering
of a limb by an amniotic band may result in a decrease in fetal movements, and in
scoliosis, foot deformity, lung hypoplasia, and hydrops.;
