Prognosis Because the prognosis of people with amniotic band syndrome can vary from patient to patient, the best person to provide your family with information regarding your child’s prognosis, is the health care providers involved in their care. [womensandinfantshealth.ca]

Prognosis Prognosis depends on the underlying cause but most have a normal lifespan. If, however, there is a central nervous system problem in addition, about half of patients die in the first year. [patient.info]

If present, proximal metacarpal synostosis should also be separated early to improve mobility of the fifth ray Outcomes: Prognosis Hand function and prognosis is best with the combination of thumb and little finger separation. [posna.org]

Management is thus suboptimal and ABS prognosis remains poor. [ispub.com]

If the amniotic bands are swallowed while still partially attached to the placenta, the tether may lead to bizarre facial clefts and palate deficiencies. [10] Etiology Two main lines of thought exist regarding the etiology of ABS, attributing the condition [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology Unknown There have been reports associating congenital amputation with maternal trauma, oophorectomy during pregnancy, intrauterine contraceptive device and amniocentesis. [nursingfile.com]

Although the etiology has been idiopathic in most cases, a traumatic event during early pregnancy has been identified on rare occasions. [rrnursingschool.biz]

Prevention Genetic advice may be essential to prevent arthrogryposis. Extrinsically derived contractures have a low recurrence risk but the recurrence risk for intrinsically derived contractures depends on the aetiology. [patient.info]

Sometimes, prenatal surgery is recommended to prevent or decrease complications from amniotic bands. In cases of ABS that do not threaten life or limb, postnatal surgery might minimize or reverse the effects of birth defects once a baby is born. [childrenscolorado.org]

Prevention [ edit ] Amniotic band syndrome is considered an accidental event and it does not appear to be genetic or hereditary, so the likelihood of it occurring in another pregnancy is remote. [en.wikipedia.org]
