ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
CASE REPORT
Maternal serum alfa-fetoprotein (AFP) screening increased and above 400 IU/ml.
Chromosomal analysis was not performed. The patient opted to terminate the pregnancy. After
receiving several doses of Misoprostol, she delivered a 400 grams male fetus that was noted to
have multiple anomalies similar to sonography findings (Fig. 3,4).

Figure 1. Amniotic band syndrome. 2D sonography showing fetal acrania (A), facial clefts (thin
arrows) and lower abdominal wall disruption (B). These defects are interpreted as being
secondary to the early distorting and disruptive effects of amniotic bands (thick arrows).
