Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (ScFN) is an uncommon condition of neonates and infants. The disorder is caused by generalized and local tissue hypoperfusion. The ScFN tends to improve spontaneously with or without some severe complications such as hypercalcemia. The ScFN may occur as iatrogenic after hypothermic surgical interventions. We present iatrogenic ScFN in a newborn with uncomplicated hypercalcemia due to cold exposure on operating table during at an umbilical cord hernia operation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient in whom ScFN occurred during a commonly performed and relatively short-term "nonhypothermic" operation.
新生儿皮下脂肪坏死（ScFN）是一种在新生儿和婴儿中并不常见的病症。该病症由全身性和局部性组织灌注不足引起。ScFN无论有无诸如高钙血症等严重并发症，往往都会自行好转。ScFN可能在低温手术干预后作为医源性情况出现。我们报告了一例因脐疝手术期间在手术台上受冷暴露而出现单纯性高钙血症的医源性ScFN新生儿病例。据我们所知，这是首例在常规进行且相对短期的“非低温”手术过程中发生ScFN的患者报告。
