Abstract : Congenital constriction band is uncommon and usually requires no treatment for the milder form. The surgical release of the band through Z plasty is promising in those requiring intervention to avoid vascular complications and loss of the affected limb. Early presentation is therefore crucial. The purpose of this study is to report a male baby with late presentation who had amputation. The 1-week-old male baby presented with a swollen, dark, and painful left leg with CBS in the middle of the left leg that warranted amputation with a subsequent uneventful postoperative period. This case has highlighted the need for early presentation of such cases for assessment and prompt treatment to avoid complications, including loss of the affected limb.

Keywords : Constriction Band Syndrome, Leg Constriction Band, Amputation, Syndactyly.
