Article Synopsis
- Subcutaneous fat necrosis is a rare condition primarily seen in term newborns, often linked to complications like birth asphyxia and meconium aspiration, as well as treatments like therapeutic hypothermia.
- The most serious complication is hypercalcemia, which can become life-threatening and lead to nephrocalcinosis, a condition where calcium deposits form in the kidneys.
- The document discusses a case of a newborn who developed late-onset severe hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis after therapeutic hypothermia, emphasizing the need for close monitoring to prevent kidney damage.
