Amniotic band syndrome (ABS) is a rare condition, potentially associated with a variety of different birth defects. It is also known as ADAM complex (amniotic deformities, adhesion, mutilation), amniotic band sequence, amniotic disruption complex, annular grooves, congenital amputation, congenital constricting bands, Streeter bands, Streeter anomaly, transverse terminal defects of limb, aberrant tissue bands, amniochorionic mesoblastic fibrous strings, and amniotic bands.The severity of amniotic band syndrome can range from a single, isolated finding to multiple, disfiguring complications. The arms and legs are most often affected. Up to 50% of cases have other congenital anomalies including cleft lip, cleft palate, and clubfoot deformity. The head and face and, in some cases, various internal organs can also be affected. We present a case of an infant born with a closed meningocele along with an amniotic band. Although there have been several case reports of encephalocele, anencephaly, meningocele and a case of tethered cord associated with amniotic band syndrome (ABS), there has yet to be a report of a meningocele associated with ABS having congenital hemolytic anaemia
