Losing Limbs Before Birth - Amniotic Band Syndrome

Описание: In this video, we delve into the rare and complex condition known as amniotic band syndrome, also referred to as streeters dysplasia or constriction band syndrome, which can lead to limb loss during fetal development.

Amniotic band syndrome is a congenital disorder that occurs when the inner layer of the placenta, known as the amnion, tears without injury to the outer layer, resulting in the formation of strands of tissue that can entangle and constrict fetal limbs, leading to limb loss or other severe complications.

Understanding the causes and effects of amniotic band syndrome is crucial for expectant parents and medical professionals alike, as it can have significant implications for fetal development and the health of the newborn.

By exploring the intricacies of this condition, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of fetal development and the importance of proper prenatal care in preventing and managing congenital disorders such as limb loss and amniotic band syndrome.
