title: An unusual case of frost bite autoamputation of toes.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  We report a case of a 15 year old young female who suffered autoamputation of left mid foot and four digits of right foot following repeated application of snow to relieve the pain in her frost bitten feet.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sociodemographic background, cause, resulting injury and subsequent management are discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Such injuries are relatively rare but awareness of the risk of this type of injury is important.
