It is associated with significant stillbirth rates and presents various manifestations affecting limbs and other regions.

The infant presented with a constriction ring on the right forearm and bilateral clubfoot, but normal limb function and perfusion. Antenatal ultrasounds indicated normal development and moderate oligohydramnios; Doppler ultrasound ruled out vascular compromise.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The diagnosis of ABS was made postnatally, revealing gaps in prenatal detection capabilities. Conservative management, including local wound care, resulted in satisfactory outcomes. The etiology supports the \u201cextrinsic theory,\u201d linking limb malformations to amniotic rupture. This case highlights the need for improved prenatal screening and training for healthcare providers in Somalia to enhance early detection of congenital anomalies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case underscores the importance of recognizing ABS and improving healthcare practices for congenital anomaly management in resource-limited settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case study underscores the rare occurrence of Amniotic Band Syndrome (ABS), a congenital anomaly resulting from the entanglement of fetal body parts in ruptured amniotic bands, leading to various structural abnormalities.
