Abstract

Abstract: Amniotic band syndrome can lead to a wide spectrum of congenital abnormalities including orofacial and visceral defects. It is associated with malformations in truncal, craniofacial regions and the limbs, whereas it sometimes may imitate some genetic disorders. Here, we present an atypical case mimicking amniotic band syndrome with a facio‐upper arm band that was having multiple fetal structural abnormalities including scoliosis, bilateral cleft lip and palate, upper limb abnormality, unilateral anophthalmia with contralateral microphthalmia, left hypertrophic kidney and severe ventriculomegaly.
