Congenital placental-cerebral adhesion: an unusual case of amniotic band sequence. Case report.

Amniotic band sequence is a disruption sequence having a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from partial amputations to major craniofacial and limb-body wall defects. Most reported cases of placental-cerebral adhesion pertain to patients with severe craniofacial defects who were either stillborn or who died a few hours after birth. The authors present a case of a male infant born with a placental-cerebral adhesion through a cranial defect.
