Management of neonatal upper limb trauma complicated by arterial injury: A case report.

ABSTRACT: This case report presents the clinical course and management of a 29-day-old female infant who presented with upper limb trauma secondary to entrapment beneath a sewing machine. Following admission, the patient exhibited clinical signs consistent with arterial injury and compartment syndrome, necessitating prompt diagnostic evaluation and surgical intervention. Despite challenges in arterial visualization via Doppler ultrasound, radiographic imaging confirmed displaced distal humerus fracture of the left upper limb, prompting further evaluation and surgical planning.

Subsequent development of compartment syn
