  1. Congenital amputation

    Congenital amputation is a congenital disorder that can be caused by amniotic band syndrome fibrous bands of the amnion that constrict foetus foetal limbs to such an extent that they fall off due to missing blood supply. The child is born without one or more limbs or without parts of limbs Amelia birth defect amelia . Causes Congenital amputations can result from a number of causes. One common cause is amniotic band syndrome , which occurs when the inner fetal membrane amnion ruptures without injury to the outer membrane chorion . Fibrous bands from the ruptured amnion float in the amniotic fluid and can get entangled with the fetus, thus reducing blood supply to the developing limbs to such an extent that the limbs can become strangulated, the tissues die and are absorbed into the amniotic fluid. Amnion ruptures can be caused by teratogenesis teratogenic drugs e.g. thalidomide , which causes phocomelia , or environmental chemicals ionizing radiation atomic weapons , radioiodine , radiation therapy infections metabolic imbalance Physical trauma trauma Treatment In rare cases, if diagnosed in utero, fetal surgery may be considered to save a limb which is in danger of amputation .
