Congenital Volkmann ischemic contracture (CVIC) is an exceedingly rare neonatal compartment syndrome caused by intrauterine ischemia and external compression. It presents at birth with necrotic cutaneous lesions and neurologic impairment, typically in a distal upper extremity. Diagnosis and treatment are often delayed in neonates, leading to long-term neurologic sequelae. We present a rare case of CVIC in order to raise awareness of its presentation and management in hopes of improving outcomes.

Congenital Flexor Contracture of Ulnar Digits Masquerading as Volkmann Ischemic Contracture.

Congenital flexion contracture of ulnar digits is a rare entity with few cases reported in medical literature. This condition is often misdiagnosed as Volkmann ischemic contracture as both have similar presentation. The patient history, physical examination, radiological investigation, and intra-operative findings can differentiate these 2 conditions clearly.

Neonatal limb ischaemia is a rare disease entity with devastating morbidity, including compartment syndrome, tissue loss, limb loss, reduced limb growth, irreparable neuropathies and Volkmann's syndrome. We report a case of limb revascularisation and salvage due to intrauterine brachial artery thrombosis. Published literature is limited to case reports and case series, with various treatment modalities discussed.

Porphyrias are caused by enzyme defects along the heme biosynthetic pathway. The first line diagnosis of porphyria is based on specific biochemical patterns of elevated porphyrins and porphyrin precursors in urine, feces, and blood. In clinically active disease accumulated porphyrin precursors and/or porphyrins lead to abdominal, neurologic, psychiatric, endocrine and cardiovascular symptoms, liver damage and/or skin photosensitivity.

Introduction: Postero-medial deformity (DMPT), unlike other congenital forms that affect the tibia, presents a good evolution spontaneously correcting the important misalignments that present at birth based on the classic orthopedic laws of Wolff and Hueter-Volkmann, leaving slight residual angulations and variable limb length discrepancy.
Material And Methods: Authors carry out a retrospective review of cases diagnosed with DPMT, the evolution of the tibial angulation and the discrepancy in the length of fourteen patients (11 males and 3 females) followed and treated between the years 2003 and 2018. Seven of these were treated by callus distraction.
