Re: Uterine synechia or amniotic band? From: James S Smeltzer MD (gaperina@mindspring.com) Mon Aug 31 06:07:37 1998 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: James S Smeltzer MD: "Re: Developing Accreta" Previous message: Todd Moyers: "Re: "patient seeing exam"" In reply to: arthur thompson: "Re: Uterine synechia or amniotic band?" Kim, Assuming that this is a uterine scar or synichia that the gestational sac has "surrounded" creating more of a shelf than a band, I have seen many go away. I have never seen one involve the baby - unlike true threads of separated amnion that do get around things, swallowed, etc. and cause serious trouble. Only one of the first kind to my knowledge caused trouble when it involved the placental implantation site, caused bleeding and preterm labor when it snapped! The mother actually felt it! The baby went home last month doing well, after a good while in the NICU, so the long term harm was nil. Bottom line: Do not worry about this! First, there is nothing you can do to change it. Second, after many years & seeing hundreds of these, I saw the first problem this year.
