[Acute peripheral circulatory disorders with gangrene in infancy].
Two cases of acute venous circulation disorders of the lower extremity are reported. During shock treatment including rehydration and additional application of heparin the circulation disorders were quickly resolved. As etiological factors, difficult delivery due to incomplete breech-footling presentation (case 1) and hypersodium dehydration (case 2) are discussed. Compared with older children infants might have a better prognosis when acute circulation disorders occur.
