Amniotic bands which become involved with fetal parts, especially the extremities, are produced by rupture of the amnion during pregnancy with the consequent union of the extra-embryonic mesoderm in fibrous strings. An infant with the amniotic band syndrome, in whom an annular constriction of the left leg and right hand was found, is described. He was treated successfully by multiple Z-plasties and a plaster cast to correct the clubfoot. The oedema of the leg persisted for 5 weeks and then subsided completely. The role of amniotic abnormalities in the production of congenital malformations is reappraised. The microscopic and histological investigation of the placenta and membranes should accompany every case of fetal malformation in abortuses, stillbirths, and affected newborn.
