Neonatal lower extremity gangrene.
Four neonates suffering from bilateral lower limb gangrene were referred to us for further management. Two neonates had no contributory etiology. All four received appropriate treatment thus avoiding mortality but morbidity could not be avoided. All four neonates recovered uneventfully.
