ABSTRACT
Amniotic bands sequence is a strange congenital disorder that embraces a wide spectrum of alterations that are characterized by constriction rings, pseudosyndactyly, amputations and less frequently multiple craniofacial defects, visceral and alterations in the thoracoabdominal wall. Incidence is considered in 1 x 1.200 to 1 x 15.000 born alive. It is the cause for 1-2 % of the congenital malformations in the general population. Their occurrence has a sporadic character, although some cases of family recurrence have been published. It is present in both sexes. The objective of this work was to describe an infant with this disease in the island of Espíritu Santo, Republic of Vanuatu.REFERENCES
