AB  - Intrauterine limb ischaemia is a rare condition that may have devastating 
      results. Various treatments are reported in the literature; however, results are 
      not always promising and amputations may be required for some patients. 
      Post-natal hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) may be a useful treatment option 
      for the salvage of affected limbs. A patient who was born with total brachial 
      artery occlusion and severe limb ischaemia was referred for HBOT. The patient 
      underwent the first HBOT session at her 48th hour of life. A total of 47 HBOT 
      sessions were completed (243.1 kPa [2.4 atmospheres absolute], duration 115 
      minutes being: 15 minutes of compression; three 25-minute oxygen periods 
      separated by five-minute air breaks; and 15 minutes of decompression), four in 
      the first 24 hours. Full recovery was achieved with this intense HBOT schedule 
      combined with anticoagulation, fasciotomy and supportive care. The new-born 
      tolerated HBOT well and no complications or side effects occurred. To the best of 
      our knowledge, our patient is one of the youngest patients reported to undergo 
      HBOT.
