The amniotic band sequence is a rare congenital condition in which it is hypothesized that fibrous band of amniotic tissue result in variable soft tissue derangements. Other terms that have been used to describe this condition are amniotic band syndrome and amnion rupture sequence. Patients may present with craniofacial, thoracic, abdominal, and/or limb involvement. Previous reports have described the association between the amniotic band sequence and unusual patterns of facial clefting, as described by Tessier, that do not follow normal embryonic lines of fusion [Keller et al., 1978; Bagatin et al., 1997]. We describe three successive cases of the amniotic band sequence, which presented with rather typical facial clefts (cleft lip and palate) in unrelated patients.
羊膜带序列征是一种罕见的先天性疾病，据推测，羊膜组织的纤维带会导致各种软组织紊乱。用于描述这种疾病的其他术语有羊膜带综合征和羊膜破裂序列征。患者可能出现颅面、胸部、腹部和/或肢体受累。先前的报告描述了羊膜带序列征与特西尔所描述的不遵循正常胚胎融合线的异常面部裂隙模式之间的关联[凯勒等人，1978年；巴加廷等人，1997年]。我们描述了三例连续的羊膜带序列征病例，这些病例出现在无亲缘关系的患者中，表现为相当典型的面部裂隙（唇腭裂）。
