Pregnancy in Amniotic Band Scarred Woman
Phupong V

Limpongsanurak S Amniotic band syndrome is an uncommon syndrome. The incidence is 1: 1,200 -
1:15,000 live births. This syndrome is variable malformation. Amniotic band scar of the
abdomen seen in adulthood is rare. We managed a case of a 23 year-old pregnant
woman who had suspected amniotic band scar of the abdomen since birth. The uterus
could expand until term pregnancy despite no intervention. The healthy female baby
was delivered by cesarean section because of obstetric indication. Both mother and baby
were in good condition. She and her baby were well at six weeks follow-up. We know of no
other reported case of maternal abdominal amniotic band scar who could continue pregnancy
until term with good outcome.
