Gangrene of the Newborn, and its Management

L. K. Siegel 1 and Robert Gross M.D.

1 LT MC USN Naval Hospital, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina 28542

An infant with peripheral gangrene was recently born at Harrisburg (Pa.) Polyclinic Hospital. This rare entity was most recently reported in 1971.1 Our patient was an approximately 28-week gestation infant of a 21-year-old primigravida without prenatal care, whose membranes had ruptured spontaneously 5 days prior to admission. On initial examination two presenting parts were felt. The delivery was spontaneous after 5 hours of active labor. The infant cried spontaneously, had an Apgar score of 7, required no resuscitation, and weighed 2 lbs. 6 oz. The head was badly battered and markedly molded.
