Downloads
The presented clinical case refers to a female newborn who had various types of injuries since birth. The diagnosis was made by visual evaluation - congenital aplasia type VI - Barth's syndrome (BS), although all studies were done and consultations with doctors of various specialties were carried out. Based on the condition, a minimal intervention was decided, in order to avoid complications/infection, a conservative treatment was prescribed, with antibacterial ointments and a wet antibacterial gauze bandage. The desired result was achieved very soon, the skin began to regenerate and as a one-year monitoring showed, the limb was fully rehabilitated.
