Congenital Constriction Band Syndrome is a rare pathology, of occasional occurrence in the nature and genetic predisposition doesn't exist. It is frequently associated with amputations of fingers or members, sindactily, acrossindactily (fenestrated sindactily), malformations in face, thorax, and/or abdomen. The present work represents our experience in the evaluation and treatment of the Constriction Congenital Band Syndrome. We have treated and assisted 10 patients in our service in a 20 year-old period.
