Amniotic band syndrome is a group of sporadic congenital anomalies that involve 
the limbs, craniofacial regions and trunk, ranging from simple digital band 
constriction to complex craniofacial and central nervous system abnormalities. 
Placento-cranial adhesions in amniotic band syndrome are extremely rare, and 
severe conditions are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. In 
this study, we pooled placento-cranial adhesion case reports that were published 
in the medical literature and added an unpublished case from our institution. 
The purpose of this article was to review and discuss the clinical features and 
outcomes of placento-cranial adhesions in amniotic band syndrome.
