[Acute occlusion of the arterial blood supply of the right arm in a newborn following entanglement of the umbilical cord (author's transl)].
Report on the rare event of a complete ischemia of the right arm immediately postpartum. The infant was delivered by Caesarean Section because of cervical dystocia and fetal distress. The umbilical cord was twice around the neck and the ischemia of the right arm appeared to be due to spasm of the axillary artery. Treatment for shock and infusion of vasodilating drugs (Complamin) relieved the arterial spasm.
