Amnion rupture sequence with 'exencephaly': MR findings in a surviving infant.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amnion rupture sequence is a heterogeneous group of congenital deformities in which rupture of the amnion occurs early in gestation. Fragments of the amnion may adhere to, or encircle and constrict, embryonic parts. This may interrupt normal morphogenesis and cause deformity or even mutilation of formed structures; large cranial defects are a common feature. In contrast to other causes of cranial defects, the amnion rupture sequence carries no increased risk of recurrence in subsequent pregnancies.

Survival of an infant with amnion rupture sequence: a dilemma for clinicians.
Introduction Amnion rupture in early pregnancy results in severe anomalies such as anencephaly, encephalocoele, exencephaly, acrania, facial clefts and absence of limbs (1,2). Most affected fetuses abort in the second trimester, are stillborn or die soon after birth (1,3).We report an infant with amnion rupture sequence, who survived for 9 weeks after birth. A Medline search failed to reveal do...
متن کاملAmniotic Band Syndrome, Perinatal Hospice, and Palliative Care versus Active Management
Introduction. Amniotic band syndrome and sequence are a relatively rare condition in which congenital anomalies occur as a result of the adherence and entrapment of fetal parts with coarse fibrous bands of the amniotic membrane. A large percentage of reported cases have an atypical gestational history. The frequency of this obstetric complication is not affected by fetal gender, genetic abnorma...

Amniotic band syndrome or sequence (ABS) is a fetal congenital malformation, mainly affecting limbs and mostly characterized by digital amputations and constrictions rings due to fibrous amniotic bands (AB). It can also affect the craniofacial area and internal organs. Two main pathological mechanisms have been proposed amnion rupture (exogenous theory) leading to fibrous bands, which wrap up t...
متن کاملFunction and failure of the fetal membrane: Modelling the mechanics of the chorion and amnion
The fetal membrane surrounds the fetus during pregnancy and is a thin tissue composed of two layers, the chorion and the amnion. While rupture of this membrane normally occurs at term, preterm rupture can result in increased risk of fetal mortality and morbidity, as well as danger of infection in the mother. Although structural changes have been observed in the membrane in such cases, the mecha...

In a retrospective study of 150 stillbirths and 150 neonatal deaths carried out between 1981 and 1985 the necropsy findings were compared with the clinical diagnoses, which had been obtained from the postmortem request form, and the case notes completed before the necropsy was performed. In all cases the necropsy comprised macroscopic findings and histological examination of all organs, with mi...
