What are the causes of Constriction rings syndrome?

Constriction rings syndrome is caused by the presence of a constricting band of tissue around a limb or organ. This band of tissue can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Congenital defects: Certain birth defects can cause constriction rings to form around a limb or organ.

• Trauma: Traumatic injuries, such as a broken bone or a deep cut, can cause constriction rings to form.
