Abstract
Summary A case of neontal sciatic palsy in association with signs of impairment of the circulation to the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the affected limb is reported. These findings can be explained by thrombosis of the superior or inferior gluteal artery as a result of injection of hypertonic glucose solution into the umbilical artery shortly after birth, similar to the cases first described by Mills in 1949. Previously reported cases are reviewed and the pathogenesis of the lesion is discussed.
