The predisposing factors are important to consider as a guide for diagnosis and treatment, but timely intervention to restore the normal physiological status of the patient and reverse progression of ischemia is much more important. This is a presentation of two cases that were similarly managed for peripheral lower-limb idiopathic gangrene. Both cases were male infants. The conservative approach adopted in both cases yielded remarkable results. }, URL ={https://www.mdcan-uath.org/article.asp?issn=2250-9658;year=2018;volume=7;issue=12;spage=75;epage=78;aulast=Sough;t=6}, eprint ={https://www.mdcan-uath.org/article.asp?issn=2250-9658;year=2018;volume=7;issue=12;spage=75;epage=78;aulast=Sough;t=6} }
