The findings highlight significant differences and similarities between cats and other species, particularly pigs.

Surgical correction and supportive care can improve the quality of life of affected cats, depending on the severity of the condition. Continued research and collaboration are essential to advance the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of BSAs and ABDC in cats, with wider implications for congenital anomalies across species.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Plain language summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study aims to explore body stalk anomalies (BSAs) and amniotic band disruption complex (ABDC) in cats (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Felis catus<\/jats:italic>\n                      ). It classifies these conditions using a system developed for humans and pigs and seeks to understand their causes and management in cats. Six cats with suspected BSAs and\/or ABDC were examined. The classification system for BSA, which includes eight types, was applied to these cases. Observations focused on physical deformities, amniotic adhesions and the severity of the conditions. Comparisons were made with similar conditions in pigs and humans. Two of the eight BSA classifications used in human and porcine congenital anomalies were detected in the six cats. In this study, the severity of the condition in cats was lower compared with pigs. The abnormalities were caused by amniotic bands affecting already-formed organs or disrupting organ development, leading to a series of abnormal events. This is the first study to describe and classify BSAs and ABDC in cats. It provides new insights into these congenital conditions and highlights differences and similarities with other species. Surgical correction and supportive care can help affected cats, depending on the severity of their condition. Continued research and collaboration are essential for better prevention, diagnosis and treatment of BSAs and ABDC in cats, with broader implications for congenital anomalies in other species.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x251341068","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]],"date-time":"2025-06-24T08:17:14Z","timestamp":1750753034000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Body stalk anomalies and their relationship to amniotic band disruption complex in six cats"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6676-5506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nieves","family":"Mart\u00edn-Alguacil","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmental Section of Anatomy and Embryology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1036-1363","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 M","family":"Cozar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmental Section of Anatomy and Embryology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Avedillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmental Section of Anatomy and Embryology, School of Veterinary Medicine, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12482"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/TACG.S8894"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jcu.1870220412"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0306-4522(01)00171-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/jfms.2001.0153"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3941\/jrcr.v9i3.2115"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(82)90574-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","volume-title":"StatPearls","author":"Singh AP","year":"2024","unstructured":"Singh AP, Gorla SR.
