Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare congenital anomaly. It is associated with different limb deformities or amputation. Severe cases have multiple constriction rings and it could be associated with disfigured face, brain and spine. Our case was a male newborn and he was severely affected. The baby had multiple constriction bands, amputated fingers, and toes. He had cleft lip and palate, malformed nose, hypertelorism, exophthalmos, red-sided absent eyelids, and low set ears and holoprosencephaly.
