Dry necrosis of the buttocks with sciatic nerve paralysis in newborns

Abstract

This syndrome in newborns is insufficiently studied. The first descriptions of it appeared in 1949. The English doctor Mills (1949) observed 8 newborns with this pathology. The labor was long, all the children were born in asphyxia, and all were injected into the umbilical cord vessels immediately after birth with nekelmamide, a synthetic drug that excites the respiratory center and the cardiovascular system. According to Mills, paralysis and circulatory disorders are associated with thrombosis of the inferior episodic artery, which feeds the sciatic nerve and the corresponding area of the skin of the gluteal region. Later, similar cases were described by Hudson and co-authors, San Augustine, T. N. Dorofeeva, V. L. Zubkova and V. A. Tabolin.
