Abstract:
The amnion rupture sequence is a rare condition occurring early in pregnancy, resulting in complex fetal anomalies by disrupting normal embryonic development. The prevalence of amnion rupture sequence is reported to be 1.16 in 10,000 live births. This article explores the uncommon case of early amnion rupture leading to fetal encephalocele, suspected in the first trimester. Despite the variable and intricate nature of anomalies associated with this condition, cranio-facial and abdominal defects are frequently observed. Genetic testing was conducted, with normal results supporting our theory of amnion rupture. The patient decided to terminate the pregnancy, and the anatomopathological results confirmed the findings. This article discusses the diagnostic challenges, emphasizing the importance of timely identification through advanced imaging techniques.
