Abstract
An unusual case of infarction of the tibia in a neonate who presented with sepsis following poor cord management at birth is reported. He was managed as for necrotizing enterocolitis and had limited debridement of infarcted limb because the parents refused amputation of the limb. This patient was a diagnostic problem. Necrotizing fasciitis and in retrospect purpura fulminans are considered as possible diagnoses and are discussed briefly.Entities:
