Also known as: ABS, amniotic constriction bands, constriction band sequence, congenital constriction rings.
Amniotic bands are thin fibers of tissue that sometimes form inside the mother’s womb when the fetus is growing inside. If the unborn fetus gets entangled within these fibers, it can cause a variety of symptoms and complications. This is known as amniotic band sequence.
The cause of amniotic band sequence is not known. It seems to occur randomly with no clear reason.
