polski), also known as amniotic band syndrome or ADAM complex, is a congenital disorder caused by entrapment of fetal parts (usually a limb or digits) in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero.
Etymology
The term "constriction ring syndrome" is derived from the Latin words constringere (to bind or draw together) and syndroma (a running together). The syndrome is named for the characteristic constriction rings that form around the affected parts of the body.
Symptoms
Symptoms of constriction ring syndrome can vary greatly depending on the severity and location of the constriction. They may include:
- Constriction rings around the affected limbs or digits
- Swelling or lymphedema distal to the constricted area
- Amputation of the limb or digit in severe cases
Causes
The exact cause of constriction ring syndrome is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a disruption in the blood supply to the affected area caused by the amniotic bands.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of constriction ring syndrome is typically made through a combination of physical examination, medical history, and ultrasound imaging.
Treatment
Treatment for constriction ring syndrome depends on the severity of the condition and may include physical therapy, surgery, or prosthetics.
