2. Amniotic band disruption sequence
Although the human body is made for reproduction, there are plenty of things that can disrupt the process. A developing fetus is especially vulnerable especially if there is any type if problem inside of the amniotic sac. Amniotic band disruption sequence is a serious condition that can result in the fetus developing anencephaly. If there is a rupture of the amniotic membranes it will result in a disruption of the tissue development cycle.
The structure of the brain and head of the fetus are fragile during development and any changes can be disastrous. Though causes of anencephaly can’t always be pinpointed, when it develops as a result of amniotic band disruption sequence, there is evidence.
A medical professional is able to detect remnants of the amniotic membrane which allows them to diagnose the cause of the defect. Unlike other causes, the amniotic band disruption sequence doesn’t increase the chance of the defect returning in future pregnancies.
