Synonyms
- Amniotic deformity, adhesion, mutilation (ADAM)
- Amniotic disruption complex
- Streeter dysplasia/bands
- Congenital constriction bands
Definitions
- Controversial, but simplest concept is entrapment of fetal parts by disrupted amnion
- Suspect many cases of "limb body wall complex" are actually due to bands
- Controversial, but simplest concept is entrapment of fetal parts by disrupted amnion
