Re: amniotic bands From: T Dubose (tjdubose@chrp.uams.edu) Thu Dec 12 15:05:20 1996 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: bclaure: "Re: Crohn's and Pregnancy/Delivery" Previous message: Richard Chudacoff, MD: "Postpartum PAP" This brings up a question I have long pondered. Does anyone have a reference about the progression of amniotic bands? My question is this: Does the fetal part have to touch the choronic side (maternal side) of the amniotic band for adherence and anomalies to occur? If twins get an extremity across the twin amnions, do they have to get between the two leaves of the amnions for a problem to develop? Is this question clear? Obviously have an amnion that doesn+t adhere to the chorion doesn+t always lead to amniotic band syndrome. Is the back (maternal) side of the amnion sticky or what? Any information/discussion welcome. Peace, Terry J.

While most of these are benign, the possibility exists the fetus could get entwined at any time and amputations of extremities and digits has been reported. I would most certainly get a perinatal consult and sonography directed at the neck, arms legs and digits. Gordon -- Life is a sexually transmitted disease and is inevitably fatal.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
