Pregnancy in amniotic band scarred woman

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.
