An intrauterine fetal death due to horizontal uterine synechia

A 41-year-old gravida 2, para 0 woman was referred to our fetal treatment clinic at 22+6 gestational weeks for evaluation of an amniotic band, but actually it was an intrauterine horizontal synechia with a constricted orifice. She had undergone dilatation and curettage twice, laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy, and laparoscopic myomectomies twice before her current pregnancy. Ultrasound showed a horizontal synechia band in the lower third of the uterus (Figure  1A). The amount of amniotic fluid was within normal range in both the upper and lower pockets.
