constriction ring

The diagnosis of constriction ring syndrome can be confirmed with an ultrasonography.

A constriction ring or band is placed on the cylinder at the other end, which is applied to the body.

Patterson divided the constriction ring associated with acrosyndactyly into three types:

Constriction ring to cut through it.

There are three different theories to the etiology of the Constriction Ring Syndrome.

The constriction ring syndrome is a complex collection of asymmetric congenital anomalies, in which no two cases are exactly alike.

There are simple constriction rings which are strands most commonly around the distal extremities as fingers and toes.

Surgical correction is recommended when a constriction ring results in a limb contour deformity, with or without lymphedema.

This fired a variety of rings, including explosive rings, freezing rings, and constriction rings.

In rare cases the constriction ring can form around other parts of the fetus and cause amputation or even intrauterine death (see Types and Classification).

Fetomaternal factors like prematurity, maternal illnes, low birth weight and maternal drug exposure are predisposing factors for the constriction ring syndrome.

Because of these other anomalies the names "Constriction Ring Syndrome", "Constriction Band Syndrome" and "Streeter Bands" are given to this defect/disease.

In general, the thumb is not likely to be affected by a constriction ring because the fetus typically holds the thumb in tight adduction flexion, making entanglement with strands less likely.

Dysorgasmia can be managed symptomatically with alpha-blockers, and climacturia may be managed behaviorally (restricting fluid intake and emptying the bladder before sexual activity) or mechanically (using a rubber constriction ring or condoms, if the leakage amount is small).
