ABSTRACT

Introduction: amniotic band syndrome includes a group of sporadic congenital anomalies characterized by fibrous rings that cause severe external and internal structural fetal defects. The most frequent defects are those affecting the fetus's limps-digits, arms and legs-may lead to amputations.
Objective: to highlight the importance of early diagnosis of congenital malformations by ultrasonography in primary health care.
Methods: ultrasonographic images of a case of prenatal diagnosis of amniotic band syndrome at 18 weeks of gestation are presented here. This syndrome produced serious fetal extremities and face alterations in a case, with no other ultrasonographic findings.
Results: prior genetic counseling, the couple decided the termination of pregnancy.
Conclusion: the case was confirmed by pathology as an amniotic band syndrome with structural fetal defects.
