Fetal deformities secondary to amniotic bands or tight looping of the umbilical cord are infrequent complications of pregnancy. Rarer still is intrauterine death due to amniotic bands or looping of the umbilical cord with compression of vital structures. A human fetus with the unique combination of deformity and intrauterine death associated with amniotic bands and looping of the umbilical cord is described.
