Abstract
INTRODUCTION Amniotic band syndrome is a fetal entrapment in strands of amniotic tissue. This condition causes multiple deformities ranging from simple constricting bands to lymphedema, autoamputation, syndactyly and other congenital anomalies. Reconstructive surgery is the main treatment for ABS. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 4-year-old male presented with multiple constricting bands affecting both hands in addition to an incomplete syndactyly between the third and fourth left digits. A two-staged operation was performed to repair the deformities with 6 months interval. Series of Z-plasties were used to release the constricting bands and the syndactyly was separated by a web zigzag incision approach and full-thickness skin grafting. DISCUSSION Management of ABS must be individualized. The urgency of the surgical release depends on the depth of the constricting bands and their influence on circulation and lymphatic drainage. Superficial bands can be released electively for cosmetic appearance while deep bands should be released as soon as possible. The separation of syndactyly should be done at the first year of life to maintain the digits functionality and parallel growth. CONCLUSION This paper emphasizes the importance of early repair of constricting bands associated with syndactyly to avoid the consequences of the delay on digital growth.

Abstract
Amniotic bands can lead to eyelid colobomas contiguous with facial clefts, resulting in severe and highly variable eyelid malformations. There is no known underlying genetic cause of amniotic band sequence. Here, the authors review the case of an infant born with large, 4-eyelid colobomatous defects in the setting of facial clefts, amniotic bands and an underlying SMOC1 mutation, which has not previously been linked to amniotic band sequence or eyelid colobomas. Reconstructive technique and the postoperative course are described, and underlying etiologic theories of amniotic band sequence are reviewed and expanded upon. Although amblyopia prevention in this patient with poor visual potential was not a consideration, the goals of improving the patient's ocular surface and maintaining eye contact were achieved.

Abstract
Congenital syndactylies are frequent congenital malformations of the hand. They can be an isolated finding or they can be found in association with other polymalformative syndromes. Several surgical techniques used to treat them have been described in the literature. The most used is the dorsal commissural omega-flap technique. We here report a study of 18 patients with congenital syndactyly, with multiple involvement in several cases, whose data were collected at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Sfax (Tunisia). All patients were operated using the dorsal commissural omega-flap technique. We operated 42 commissures in 18 patients. The average age of patients was 7 years. Only 3 patients had syndromic forms. Six of these patients were operated in two stages. For scar quality, mean OSAS score was 11.47 (11.35 for simple types and 12 for complex types). All patients with complex types had long-term complications (100%). Six patients with simple types out of 14 had complications (42.85%). The management of congenital syndactylies is surgical. It is important to provide parents with accurate information on the essential role of follow-up appointments in order to avoid complications in the short and the long term.

Abstract
Reports focusing on biomedical principlism and the role of anaesthesiologists in palliative care are rare. We present the case of a newborn with multiple craniofacial anomalies and a diagnosis of ADAM “sequence,” in which surgical removal of placental adhesions to the dura mater and the correction of meningocele was not indicated due to the very short life expectancy. After 48 hours, the odor from the placenta indicted a necrotic process, which prevented the parents from being close to the child and increased his isolation. Urgent surgery was performed, after which the newborn was transported to the ICU and intubated under controlled mechanical ventilation. The patient died a week later. The principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, and respect for autonomy are simultaneously an inspiratory and regulatory framework for clinical practice. Although only necessary procedures are defended, which suggests a position contrary to invasive interventions at the end of life, sometimes they are the best palliative measures that can be taken in cases like the one described here.

Amniotic Band Syndrome, Perinatal Hospice, and Palliative Care versus Active Management. Case Rep Obstet Gynecol 2016; 2016:9756987.

Abstract
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 abnormality, or prenatal infection. Case. A 21-year-old, G1P0 female parturient at 18 weeks and 5 days with a single intrauterine gestation during a routine ultrasound evaluation was noted to have amniotic band sequence. The pregnancy was subsequently complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes with oligohydramnios, resulting in a surviving neonate scheduled for rehabilitative treatment. Conclusion. Amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon congenital anomaly resulting in multiple disfiguring and disabling manifestations. Several theories are proposed with most involving early rupture of the amnion and entanglement of fetal parts by amniotic bands. This syndrome can be manifested by development of multiple malformations, with the majority of the defects being limb abnormalities of a disorganized nature, as in the case we present. In the absence of a clear etiology of consequential congenital abnormalities, obstetric management guidelines should use shared decision models to focus on the quality of life for the offspring.
