or the second ovum where there is a double pregnancy, will exert a teratological influence. We also know that an injury directed against the abdomen of a pregnant woman may bring about fœtal malformation. To demonstrate the efficiency of this last influence I will relate the history of a case which I saw in the year 1881, while in Vienna, and which was published by Anton. The infant was a boy who died when fourteen days old. The autopsy revealed an imperfect corpus callosum ; persistence of the embryonic median furrows of the cerebrum with microgyria; hair lip and cleft palate; and a fracture of the right femur which had healed in utero. The period at which the defect in the corpus callosum must have originated was the beginning of the fourth month of pregnancy. At this time, moreover, according to the mother's history, she had sustained an injury, falling on the ice in such a way as to receive the brunt of the blow upon her abdomen. This had caused the fracture of the femur, and favors Anton's view, that the same injury caused not only breaking of the bone, but also malformation of the brain. The pathologist who studies human malformations of amniotic origin, must do so in the light of both comparative pathology and experimental teratology. But he will be very careful in adopting their teaching, since the origin and significance of the amnion are not the same in man and in the lower animals.

JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL BULLETIN.

[No. 239

I have had opportunity to study an unusually large number of human malformations. The cases, I shall bring to your attention are selected from this material, which was secured at the Universities of Prague and Strassburg.

By far the most common human deformities of amniotic origin are those caused by " Simonart's bands." These string- like portions of amnion usually pass from that membrane to the embryo. A great deal has been written about the mal- formations they cause. Such deformities represent widely different types, including hair lip, cleft palate, micrognathia; fissure of the face, of the brain, of the spinal cord; fissure of the thorax and of the abdomen; constriction of the penis, and malformation of the extremities .* These bands run not only from the amnion to the fœtus, but may pass from one part of the surface of the foetus to another. It has been satisfactorily demonstrated that subsequent development of the embryo or fœtus may cause the amniotic bands to disappear after they have produced deformity ; hence their previous existence may be attested at the time of birth only by the damage they have worked.

I am indebted to Professor Kretz for permission to use the following cases from the Pathological Museum at Prague :

Fig. 1 shows both hands of a nine-month fœtus with pero- dactylia caused by Simonart's bands ; in other respects it was normal. On the left hand the fourth and fifth fingers, on the right hand the third, fourth and fifth fingers are imperfectly formed; the fingers mentioned on the right hand are not separated from one another. Remains of amniotic threads are seen on both hands, adherent to the affected fingers. We were unable to examine the placenta.

I have found the same kind of deformity in a woman seventy years old, and in her case the deformity was certainly caused by amniotic threads (Fig. 2). The right hand pre- sents atrophy of the fourth and fifth fingers; the left hand, atrophy of the fourth and fifth fingers, together with a de- fective nail on the fifth finger, a deep dorsal furrow on the fourth finger, a rather deep furrow on the back of the first phalanx of the third finger, and a furrow on the back of the second phalanx of the index finger. These deformities were all present at birth.

In proof of the fact that amniotic bands may cause con- striction about more proximal parts of the extremity, I offer, as an example, the case pictured in Fig. 3, which is that of an infant who died when three hours old. It presented fissures of the brain and of the face. The left hand showed indentations upon the third, fourth and fifth fingers; absence of the nail phalanx of the fifth finger, at the ulnar edge of which there still hung a remnant of an amniotic thread. On the right side, and about 1 cm. below the elbow, a deep circular fissure was found; the constriction reached the neighborhood of the bones of the forearm. At this point the skin was rent and the bones were broken as the result of injury at the time of birth. Distalwards from this circular fissure were found the remains of an extremity. It measured 5 by 3} cm., had an oval shape, and was covered with skin. This structure cor-

responded to the upper arm and the hand. It was markedl; œdematous, and at its peripheral end bore four digits; three of them, namely, the fourth and fifth fingers and the thumb. were well formed, except that the nail on the last was lacking. All were of normal size. The second finger was represente! by a short, pyramidal projection of skin without any nail, and had been drawn upwards and outwards to the side of the thumb. Amniotic threads joined- the above mentioned con- striction in the forearm to the rudimentary finger, and held the latter as would a sling. The third finger was entirely lack- ing.

It would have been only a step from this deep circular fissure formation to complete intrauterine amputation of the right forearm. In this instance also, we had no opportunity to examine the placenta.

Much less frequently, amniotic bands are found attached to other parts of the body. Fig. 4 shows a shrivelled, sixth- month fœtus papyraceous, which had died sometime before birth. Amniotic adhesions appear on the head. A band 4 cm. long and 2 mm. thick extended from the skull of the foetus to a point on the placenta near the insertion of the umbilical cord, and was twisted in a spiral about the latter structure. A club-shaped appendage was found in the region of the large fontanelle, immediately in front of the amniotic band with which it was connected. The appendage was 1 cm. long. and 5 mm. thick at its free end. It was covered with skin. contained a cavity which could be traced through its pedicle into the cavum cerebri, and clearly represented an encephalo- cele. The periphery of the placenta had involuted and con- pletely atrophied; but for that, the amnion presented it: normal characteristics.

In this case, then, we have seen an amniotic band attached to the head of an embryo and an encephalocele produced through the traction thus occasioned. Moreover, fotal death was very likely the result of its action, since constriction of the umbilical cord by the band would seem to account for that event.

Figure 5 represents a case of schizosoma caused by amniotic bands. The fœtus was about 38 cm. long. A short, ribbon-like band of amnion passed from the region of the navel to the back of the fœtus and had drawn along a tongue-shaped pro- jection of skin with a small, round cutaneous appendage upon it. In consequence of this band, several deformities had arisen, namely, a deep transverse furrow across the back; im- perfect closure of the pleuro-peritoneal cavity on the right side; protrusion of the viscera; and defective formation e. the right upper extremity. There was no umbilical cord. The umbilical arteries and the umbilical vein issued from the lower edge of the abdominal fissure. These vessels were closely approximated, and ran to the placenta surrounded by a very small quantity of Whartonian jelly, which in turn was encased in amnion. The other malformations noted in this specimen were a median fissure of the thumb; talipes varus with hep- tadactylia on the left side and talipes valgus with hexadactylis on the right. A few amniotic threads hung upon the right

An encephalocele, zontal circumference of 22 cm. appeared upon the skin covering it was very thin; the hernial opening wide; the cavity within the skull was quite small. tho-palatoschisis appeared upon the right side of From the chiloschisis a fissure ran upwards through alf of the nose to the anterior edge of the hernial A thread-like cord 10 cm. in length was attached at point, and ran toward the right axilla, where it o three parts, one of which was attached to the id one to the posterior axillary fold; the third was the back near the lower angle of the right scapula.

ical anatomy also teaches that the mediation of bands is not the only way in which the amnion sally related to fotal malformations; abnormality of the amniotic cavity, and particularly a diminu- f reacts harmfully upon the development of the ases of this sort have been recorded by Marchand and e. In the case reported by Marchand, the embryo l six to seven weeks' development.

nection, I am able to add another case, illustrated ad 7b. This specimen consisted of a 34 cm. long, , which presented fissure of the face, a scar to- two cylindrical cutaneous appendages upon the skull and perodactylia of both hands as well as oot ; from the digits of the last remains of am- ns hung. Moreover, in this specimen we found Iving the abdomen and the lower part of the , of the abdominal organs and the left lung ugh the opening.

fissure. This structure was 13 cm. long, and was inserted upon the margin of the placenta, which had a diameter of 17 cm. The amniotic covering of the placenta, and indeed of the entire inner surface of the chorion was lacking. Microscopical study verified that fact, showing only a few delicate thread- like remnants of the membrane. The short umbilical cord was entirely covered by amnion.

From the findings in this specimen, the conclusion is un- avoidable that the schizosoma had been produced by diminu- tion in the size of the amnion. The body of the embryo had been surrounded by a closely applied corset which interfered with the closure of the pleuro-peritoneal cavity. The mem- brane had become detached in the neighborhood of the head and the extremities; these regions were separated from the rest of the amnion. Malformation of the head and extremities had been caused by Simonart's bands, remnants of which were attached to the inner surface of the chorion.
