Fetal acalvaria with amniotic band syndrome. (1/29)
A case of amniotic band syndrome (ABS) presenting with acalvaria is reported. ABS includes a spectrum of non-genetic anomalies, varying from simple digital band constriction to major craniofacial and visceral defects, and even fetal death. Acalvaria is a rare congenital malformation characterised by the absence of the dome-like superior portion of the cranium comprising the frontal, parietal, and occipital bones and dura mater, in the presence of a normal skull base and facial bones with complete cranial contents. No two cases are the same. Acrania or absence of the flat skull bones with disorganised cerebral hemispheres have been reported in the presence of amniotic bands. ABS is an aetiological factor in acalvaria. Appropriate counselling for affected families needs to be given after prenatal diagnosis. (+info)Intrauterine sling: a complication of the stuck twin syndrome. (2/29)
Stuck twin syndrome usually presents with polyhydramnios in the recipient sac and severe oligohydramnios in the donor sac. The donor is displaced against the uterine wall and remains adherent in that position. We present a case in which the diagnosis was more complicated, owing to the suspension of the stuck twin by a sling within the sac of the recipient. A monochorionic diamnionic twin gestation was complicated by twin-twin transfusion syndrome at 18 weeks of gestation. In our example, the stuck twin was suspended by a sling from the placenta. The sling band represented the intertwin membrane that was folded upon itself. Amniotic fluid from the recipient twin was present in three dimensions around the stuck twin, except for the sling band. The suspension of the stuck twin by a sling within the amniotic fluid of the recipient is an unusual manifestation of the stuck twin syndrome. (+info)Constriction band of the arm following insertion of a pleuro-amniotic shunt. (3/29)
In a 23-week fetus with a large left-sided pleural effusion a double pigtail pleuro-amniotic shunt was inserted uneventfully. A healthy infant was delivered at 38 weeks' gestation. One end of the shunt was in the thoracic cavity but the other end was found wrapped around the upper arm resulting in a constriction band. There was no impairment of the vascular supply to the limb or in its motor or sensory function and by 6 months of age there was only a faint ring still apparent around the upper arm. (+info)Combined cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy for correction of residual adductus deformity in idiopathic and secondary club feet. (4/29)
We used a combined cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy to treat residual adductus deformity in idiopathic and secondary club feet. The mean follow-up for 27 feet (22 idiopathic, four arthrogrypotic and one related to amniotic band syndrome) was 5.0 years (2.0 to 9.8). All healed uneventfully except for one early wound infection. No further surgery was required in the 22 idiopathic club feet but four of five with secondary deformity needed further surgery. At follow-up all patients with idiopathic and two with secondary club feet were free from pain and satisfied with the result. In the idiopathic feet, adductus of the forefoot, as measured by the calcaneal second metatarsal angle, improved on average from 20.7 +/- 2.0 degrees to 8.9 +/- 1.8 degrees (p < 0.05). In four feet, with a follow-up of more than six years, there was complete recurrence of the deformity. In the secondary club feet, there was no improvement of the adductus. We conclude that in most, but not all, idiopathic club feet a cuboid/cuneiform osteotomy can provide satisfactory correction of adductus deformity. Those with secondary deformity require other procedures. (+info)A malformed fetus in a rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy. (5/29)
We present a case of a 13-week pregnancy with a malformed fetus in a ruptured, non-communicating rudimentary horn. The patient, a 21-year-old woman with pelvic and right-sided abdominal pain, was admitted to the gynecology clinic of our institution. A ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy was diagnosed by ultrasonography. The fetus in the gestation sac showed evisceration of the liver and intestines and an absent left femur. There was an amniotic band extending across the body of the fetus. The ruptured horn was excised by laparotomy. The factors associated with rudimentary horn pregnancy and related fetal abnormalities are discussed. (+info)Spontaneous resolution of amniotic bands. (6/29)
The amniotic band syndrome comprises a group of sporadic congenital anomalies characterized by amputations, constriction bands, pseudosyndactylism and multiple craniofacial, visceral and body wall defects. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1200 to 1 in 15 000 live births. Some of the cases present with congenital anomalies that are incompatible with life, but a selected group shows isolated limb constrictions. Repeated sonographic examinations afforded us the opportunity of observing the in utero process of limb strangulation and subsequent spontaneous lysis of an amniotic band attached to a fetal elbow. Surgical fetal therapy with lysis of the constriction ring in utero is an option, but intervention is probably not always warranted. Spontaneous resolution does occur. (+info)Prenatal sonographic diagnosis of focal musculoskeletal anomalies. (7/29)
Focal musculoskeletal anomalies vary, and can manifest as part of a syndrome or be accompanied by numerous other conditions such as genetic disorders, karyotype abnormalities, central nervous system anomalies and other skeletal anomalies. Isolated focal musculoskeletal anomaly does, however, also occur; its early prenatal diagnosis is important in deciding prenatal care, and also helps in counseling parents about the postnatal effects of numerous possible associated anomalies. We have encountered 50 cases involving focal musculoskeletal anomalies, including focal limb dysplasia [radial ray abnormality (n=3), mesomelic dysplasia (n=1)]; anomalies of the hand [polydactyly (n=8), syndactyly (n=3), ectrodactyly (n=1), clinodactyly (n=6), clenched hand (n=5)]; anomalies of the foot [clubfoot (n=10), rockerbottom foot (n=5), sandal gap deformity (n=1), curly toe (n=2)]; amniotic band syndrome (n=3); and anomalies of the focal spine [block vertebra (n=1), hemivertebra (n=1)]. Among these 50 cases, five [polydactyly (n=1), syndactyly (n=2) and curly toe (n=2)] were confirmed by postnatal physical evaluation, two (focal spine anomalies) were diagnosed after postnatal radiologic examination, and the remaining 43 were proven at autopsy. For each condition, we describe the prenatal sonographic findings, and include a brief review. (+info)A case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma. (8/29)
An autopsy case of amniotic band syndrome with bilateral epibulbar choristoma is described. The left eye reveals a complex choristoma and the right eye a dermis-like choristoma. Both choristomatous lesions included lenticular tissue suggesting that rupture of the amnion, which is the initial event of amniotic band syndrome, might have occurred at about the fourth week of gestation. Since the other systemic manifestations of amniotic band syndrome are considered to be compression deformities of the fetus caused by oligohydramnios or amniotic band, the occurrence of epibulbar choristomas in both eyes in this case suggests that a compression mechanism may play a role in the pathogenesis of epibulbar choristoma. (+info)Amniotic Band Syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by various deformities such as constriction rings, amputations, and malformations, resulting from entanglement of fetal parts with fibrous bands originating from the amnion.
Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS) is a group of congenital abnormalities that occur when the fetus becomes entangled in fibrous strands or bands of the amnion, the innermost membrane surrounding the developing embryo or fetus in the womb. These strands can constrict the fetal parts, leading to various deformities and limitations of growth, depending on the severity and location of the entanglement.
The medical definition of Amniotic Band Syndrome includes:
1. Constriction bands: These are the most common manifestation of ABS, where fibrous bands encircle a digit, limb, or other body parts, causing varying degrees of constriction and deformity. The constriction can lead to swelling, discoloration, and, in severe cases, amputation of the affected body part.
2. Amniotic band sequence (ABSq): This term is used interchangeably with ABS but emphasizes that multiple congenital abnormalities may result from a single etiology - entanglement in fibrous bands. The abnormalities can include cleft lip and palate, clubfoot, craniofacial deformities, and spinal defects, among others.
3. Limb-body wall complex (LBWC): This is a severe form of ABS where the fetus has extensive deformities involving multiple body parts, including limbs, abdominal wall, and organs. LBWC can be fatal in utero or during early infancy due to its severity.
4. ADAM complex: Acronym for Amniotic Deformation and Adhesion Malformation, this term refers to a specific pattern of deformities seen in ABS, including craniofacial defects, limb deformities, and abdominal wall defects.
The exact cause of amniotic band syndrome remains unknown, but it is not believed to be inherited or genetic. It is thought to occur randomly due to the rupture of the amnion during pregnancy, leading to the formation of fibrous bands that entangle the fetus.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury characterized by lateral knee pain, caused by inflammation and irritation of the iliotibial band, a thick band of fascia that runs from the pelvis to the tibia, as it rubs against the outer part of the knee joint.
Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse injury primarily seen in runners, cyclists, and athletes who participate in repetitive weight-bearing activities. The iliotibial band is a thick band of fascia that runs from the iliac crest of the pelvis, along the outside of the thigh, and inserts just below the knee joint.
ITBS occurs when there is irritation or inflammation to the iliotibial band where it passes over the lateral epicondyle of the femur (the bony prominence on the outer side of the knee). This often results from repetitive friction between the IT band and the underlying bone, leading to pain and discomfort.
Contributing factors for ITBS development can include:
1. Poor biomechanics or muscle imbalances in the lower extremity (e.g., weak hip abductors, tight IT bands, or pronated feet).
2. Inadequate warm-up or cool-down routines before and after exercise.
3. Rapid increases in training volume, intensity, or frequency.
4. Worn-out or improperly fitted footwear.
5. Training on uneven or banked surfaces.
Symptoms of ITBS typically include lateral knee pain that worsens with activity and may be accompanied by swelling or tenderness along the IT band. Treatment usually involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, stretching exercises, and occasionally orthotics or other supportive devices to correct underlying biomechanical issues.
Amputation is the surgical removal of all or part of an extremity, such as a leg, arm, foot, hand, or toe, due to various medical reasons like severe injury, infection, tumor, or circulatory problems.
Amputation is defined as the surgical removal of all or part of a limb or extremity such as an arm, leg, foot, hand, toe, or finger. This procedure is typically performed to remove damaged or dead tissue due to various reasons like severe injury, infection, tumors, or chronic conditions that impair circulation, such as diabetes or peripheral arterial disease. The goal of amputation is to alleviate pain, prevent further complications, and improve the patient's quality of life. Following the surgery, patients may require rehabilitation and prosthetic devices to help them adapt to their new physical condition.
"Encyclopedias, as a medical topic, refer to comprehensive and organized collections of information on various medical disciplines, theories, practices, diseases, treatments, and related health sciences, serving as extensive reference sources for medical professionals, students, researchers, and general public."

An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
The amnion is the innermost fetal membrane in a developing mammalian embryo that forms a sac filled with amniotic fluid, providing protection and cushioning to the growing embryo and later the fetus during pregnancy.
The amnion is the innermost fetal membrane in mammals, forming a sac that contains and protects the developing embryo and later the fetus within the uterus. It is one of the extraembryonic membranes that are derived from the outer cell mass of the blastocyst during early embryonic development. The amnion is filled with fluid (amniotic fluid) that allows for the freedom of movement and protection of the developing fetus.
The primary function of the amnion is to provide a protective environment for the growing fetus, allowing for expansion and preventing physical damage from outside forces. Additionally, the amniotic fluid serves as a medium for the exchange of waste products and nutrients between the fetal membranes and the placenta. The amnion also contributes to the formation of the umbilical cord and plays a role in the initiation of labor during childbirth.
Teratogens are substances, environmental factors, or physical circumstances that have the potential to cause birth defects or developmental abnormalities in an embryo or fetus during pregnancy.
Teratogens are substances, such as certain medications, chemicals, or infectious agents, that can cause birth defects or abnormalities in the developing fetus when a woman is exposed to them during pregnancy. They can interfere with the normal development of the fetus and lead to a range of problems, including physical deformities, intellectual disabilities, and sensory impairments. Examples of teratogens include alcohol, tobacco smoke, some prescription medications, and infections like rubella (German measles). It is important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant to avoid exposure to known teratogens as much as possible.
The chorion is the outermost fetal membrane during pregnancy, forming the fetal portion of the placenta and producing hormones essential for maintaining pregnancy.
The chorion is the outermost fetal membrane that surrounds the developing conceptus (the embryo or fetus and its supporting structures). It forms early in pregnancy as an extraembryonic structure, meaning it arises from cells that will not become part of the actual body of the developing organism. The chorion plays a crucial role in pregnancy by contributing to the formation of the placenta, which provides nutrients and oxygen to the growing embryo/fetus and removes waste products.
One of the most important functions of the chorion is to produce human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), a hormone that signals the presence of pregnancy and maintains the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure in the ovary that produces progesterone during early pregnancy. Progesterone is essential for preparing the uterus for implantation and maintaining the pregnancy.
The chorion consists of two layers: an inner cytotrophoblast layer and an outer syncytiotrophoblast layer. The cytotrophoblast layer is made up of individual cells, while the syncytiotrophoblast layer is a multinucleated mass of fused cytotrophoblast cells. These layers interact with the maternal endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to form the placenta and facilitate exchange between the mother and the developing fetus.
In summary, the chorion is a vital extraembryonic structure in pregnancy that contributes to the formation of the placenta, produces hCG, and interacts with the maternal endometrium to support fetal development.
