Aneurysm I: Introduction

Aneurysm I: Introduction

An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...

Summary

Amniotic constriction bands, a rare birth defect, most commonly affect upper limbs. A new classification system is proposed to improve understanding and treatment of these limb deformities.

Background:

Amniotic constriction bands affect 1 in 15,000 live births.
The Patterson Classification system is currently used.
This condition can cause upper and/or lower limb deformities.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a case series of patients with amniotic constriction bands.
To develop a new classification system for this condition.
To analyze the incidence and presentation of amniotic constriction bands.

Main Methods:

A case series was compiled from 1993-2012.
Data from 37 patients with amniotic constriction bands were analyzed.
A new classification system was developed based on anatomical location and depth.

Main Results:

37 patients were identified with amniotic constriction bands.
Upper limb involvement was most common (17 patients).
17 patients had both upper and lower limb deformities; 28 underwent surgery.

Conclusions:

Upper limb constriction bands are most frequent.
Current nomenclature is inconsistent, hindering literature review.
A refined classification for upper limb bands is proposed.
