Uveal coloboma associated with amniotic band syndrome.

A baby girl had constriction bands and digital amputations typical of the amniotic band syndrome, as well as a typical uveal coloboma in a slightly microphthalmic eye. A small, free-floating amniotic band may have lodged in the fetal uveal cleft at 5 to 6 weeks of gestation, preventing closure of the cleft and thus resulting in this first reported instance of an association between amniotic band syndrome and an isolated uveal coloboma.
