Özet
Amniotic rupture sequence is considered an uncommon, sporadic condition among live born infants. It is characterized by congenital annular bands associated with different malformations and the amniotic bands may disrupt the extremities (ring constrictions, amputation), face (clefts), or trunk (abdominal or thoracic wall defects). Amnion rupture may also be associated with loss of ammniotic fluid producing secondary effects due to oligohydramnios. The decreased fetal activity may result in scoliosis and/or foot deformities-positional talipes (clubfoot). Here we report a male dead fetus with amniotic rupture sequence born from the first gestation of a 24-year old woman. On physical examination, the fetus had Potter's face, amputated phalanx of the fingers of the left hand, syndactyly on the right hand and clubfoot and pseudosyndactyly on both feet. We wanted to present this case since such cases are rare in the medical literature. Copyright © 2006 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
