Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a set of congenital malformations that mainly affect the limbs and more rarely the skull, face, chest, and abdomen. Two main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the nature of the disorder: an intrinsic and extrinsic factor. We report a newborn with ABS presenting with several malformations involving both hands and foot. In this case, the malformative event localized at the hands and right foot without involvement of any other internal organs and is asymmetric which leads us to suppose the extrinsic factor as cause of the ABS.
羊膜带综合征（ABS）是一组主要影响四肢，较少累及颅骨、面部、胸部和腹部的先天性畸形。关于该病症的本质，已提出两种主要假说：内在因素和外在因素。我们报告了一名患有羊膜带综合征的新生儿，其双手和足部出现了多处畸形。在这个病例中，畸形事件局限于双手和右脚，未累及任何其他内部器官，且呈不对称性，这使我们推测外在因素是导致羊膜带综合征的原因。
