Abstract:
Streeter's dysplasia, also known as amniotic band syndrome (ABS), is a rare congenital condition characterized by a wide spectrum of malformations, deformities, and, in severe cases, limb amputations. Other manifestations associated with ABS include clubfoot, distal finger or toe hypoplasia, and syndactyly. Although several theories have been proposed, the exact etiology of this syndrome remains unclear. In this case report, we present the 14-year follow-up of a patient diagnosed with ABS at birth who has been managed through a multidisciplinary approach since infancy. This report highlights the patient's clinical progression over the years and emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in achieving favorable clinical and functional outcomes.
