Is it possible for amniotic banding to cause death?

Yes, amniotic band syndrome, which occurs when strands of the amniotic sac wrap around a developing fetus, can lead to serious complications, including death. These bands can constrict blood flow or cause malformations that may be life-threatening. In severe cases, they can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth. The severity of the impact often depends on the extent and location of the bands.
