Abstract

We report a case of immersion foot syndrome caused by icing treatment for musculoskeletal injury. A 48-year-old woman kept soaking her left leg in cold water for 1 month after fall. During her clinical course, the demarcation line between viable and nonviable area in her leg was clarified without any sign of systemic infection. Finally, below the knee amputation was successfully performed. This rare but serious condition should be taken into consideration among the civilian population.
