Aim and objectives: To analyze the various etiological factors involved in development of neonatal limb gangrene. Duration of study ? Two years (Aug 2015 to Aug 2017). Study design ? Retrospective and Prospective. Inclusion criteria: Neonates present with limb gangrene within 28 days. Exclusion criteria: Neonates present with limb gangrene after 28 days. Conclusion: Preterm and low birth weight with malformation babies with sepsis, and maternal risk factors like diabetes and birth trauma and repeated venous cannulation and drug extravasation play a major role in development of neonatal limb gangrene.
