Objectives: Amniotic band syndrome and osteogenesis imperfecta are two distinct diseases that develop due to structural defects of the collagen protein. In our paper, we report the concurrence of these two diseases rarely seen in the newborn period.
Case presentation: A female infant born at 33rd gestational week was found to have constrictive bands in her right lower extremity and flexion contractures in distal joints of lower and upper extremities due to amniotic bands in postnatal physical examination. While being treated for respiratory difficulty, she was diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta and treated with bisphosphonates upon being found to suffer bilateral humeral fractures on the sixth day of life. She received respiratory support with mechanical ventilation due to respiratory tract complications related to osteogenesis imperfecta and died on the 384th day of life.
Conclusions: One should bear in mind that other collagen tissue diseases may accompany the amniotic band syndrome; this possibility should be definitely pursued if clinical suspicion exists.
