Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
A newborn baby with a gangrenous limb has been rarely reported in literature. It has been said to be due to constricting amniotic band sequence. We hereby report such a case born to 36 weeks primiparous female who was not booked antenatally. There was a constriction band visible in the middle of leg. There were no other associated anomalies. The limb was subsequently amputed and baby survived. It reflects the primitive health seeking behaviours in our country.
