Abstract
Neonatal gangrene is a rare condition during the neonatal period. Its prognosis is generally poor. Acute ischemia of the limbs is most often caused by thromboembolic events. Although there are several predisposing factors, in the majority of cases no causative factor is found. Also the extent of the gangrene is variable; it can affect one or several fingers or toes or even the whole upper or lower limb. We here report a case of congenital gangrene of the hand treated in our Department.Entities:
