Congenital Band about the Pelvis (A Case Report)

Abstract

Congential band is a rare collection of fetal malformations associated with fib rous bands that appear to entangle or entrap various fetal parts in the uterus leading to deformation, malformation or disruption. Heredity, sex,and race seem to play insignificant role, and its eitologic explanation is still confusing and conjectural. Congental band about the pelvis is very rare and only five such documented cases are reported in the world medical literature. Now we present the sixth case of congental band about the pelvis, treated with multiple Z-plasties, with particular consideration on the etiologic factors.
