Amniotic band sequence describes highly variable spectrum of congenital anomalies that occur in as-sociation with amniotic bands. İntrauterine synechiae is a condition in which scar tissue develops within the uterine cavity. We aim to present a case of amniotic band sequence and a case of intrauterine synechiae and compare their ultrasonographic findings. Ultrasonography revealed contraction ring in the right groin area of the first fetus but second fetus was healthy. The diagnosis of amniotic band sequence is based upon the presence of characteristic structural findings on prenatal ultrasound or postnatal phys-ical examination. The diagnosis of intrauterine adhesions is based upon visualization of intrauterine ad-hesions either directly by hysteroscopy or indirectly by other imaging studies. The floor of the intrauter-ine adhesions is widely and lateral of the uterine cavity and occurs from four layers while the amniotic band is a thin layer and forms fluctuations in the amniotic fluid. Amniotic bands may cause variable spec-trum of congenital anomalies whereas intrauterine adhesions do not increase the probability of fetal anomaly because it is out of the amniotic cavity.
