title: Injury by mittens in neonates: a report of an unusual presentation of this easily overlooked problem and literature review.
abstract: Injuries caused by mittens applied to infants' hands had been reported since the 1960s. Despite the attention brought forward, reports of injuries continued to appear. We report a case of an unusual presentation of upper limb injuries related to mittens, where the injuries involve the entire hand. The injuries fortunately recovered within 2 weeks without subsequent tissue loss.
