NON-DESTRUCTIVE ADHESIVE AMNIOTIC BANDS

Sonographic appearance of the membrane	Relationship to Fetus Placenta	Timing / Etiology
* Aberrant bands of amnion attached to the fetus. * Defect in the amnion due to rupture. * Free end may not be seen * May have an identical appearance to Amniotic Band Syndrome but no structural fetal anomaly is present.	* Attached to fetus * May restrict fetal motion * No structural fetal anomalies present This distinguishes non destructive from destructive amniotic bands.	* Unknown * Probably late amnion rupture as the bands are non destructive.
