Amniotic Band Syndrome(ABS) is characterised with fetal deformation, malformation and amputation caused by adhesion to or coiling of amniotic membrane residues or plasenta devoid of amnion on fetus. The chromosome analysis is normal and the etiology and pathogenesis are not well determined. The diagnosis of ABS in neonatal period is genereally difficult and only 30-50% of cases can take the true diagnosis. A 35 years old 33 weeks of gestation woman is referred to our university hospital from a private hospital with the diagnosis of oligohydramnios. From the history of patient it is learned that no abnormality or pathologic situation about pregnancy was detected in the ultrasonographic imagings of the patient during the antenatal follow-up. The pregnancy is ended with cesarian section due to absence of breath, movement and oligohydramnios. During the operation arcuate uterus and uterus subseptus was detected. In the first examination of the fetus, the distal portion of mid-forearm and left hand were seen as amputed above the wrist. As a conclusion, especially in the case of anomalies of distal extremities if the chromosomal analysis is normal ABS should be in mind.
