Abstract
Amniotic band syndrome also called as Streeter’s dysplasia is one of the rare disorders by birth, which causes malformation and deformities in the fetus. The ruptured amniotic membranes constrict the body or limbs or both of the fetus and cause malformations. The main stay of diagnosis is ultrasound during pregnancy but it is mostly missed by healthcare workers. This condition leads to mild to severe deformities like amputation of fingers or toes, club foot in the fetus leading to limited movements of the limbs or even death. The treatment options include observation and exercise in mild cases, and surgical correction, rehabilitation in case of moderate to severe fetal deformities.
