Congenital gangrene limb is a rare condition. In the majority of cases, no cause is identified and its treatment is not codified. We report the case of 28 weeks of gestation premature male of a nondiabetic mother who presented at birth ischemic gangrene of the right upper limb with severe respiratory distress hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit, undergoing trans-humeral amputation in front of the installation of a febrile syndrome.We discuss the different aetiopathogenic theories based on literature review.
