Abstract

Congenital constriction band of the trunk is a rare congenital malformation. A 14-year-old girl with a congenital circumferential constriction band around the waist is described. Seven other cases of congenital constriction band on the trunk are reviewed in the literature. This malformation is probably related to the amniotic band syndrome such as constriction band on the limbs. The surgical treatment of this constriction band was W-plasty and produced good cosmetic results.
