Neonatal Volkmann syndrome: About a case

Neonatal Volkmann syndrome is rare. It must be evoked when skin lesions associated with wrist and finger paralysis are present. We present, with a long delay, a patient who presented a Volkmann syndrome. No etiology was found, as well as no associated brain lesion. Several surgical interventions were necessary to improve the functional prognosis. Volkmann's syndrome must be recognized in order to search for associated lesions and to propose an emergency aponeurotomy. Regular follow-up should be performed to avoid bone deformities and retractions.
