Abstract

We present the case of a stillbirth, who presented with constrictive amniotic bands, amniotic adhesions, limb-body-wall complex, and the presence of a pseudotail that was studied at the Pathology Unit of the Acapulco General Hospital. This entity, formerly termed cyllosomus and pleurosomus, is rare. The anomalies were interpreted as being band- and/or compression-related defects. The latter included limb deficiency, body wall deficiency, neural tube defects, scoliosis, postural deformations, growth deficiency and short umbilical cord. The scanty literature on this subject in Mexico is due to the lack of interest to report isolated cases like the one we comment here, which depends on local interest in teratology.
