Frostbite is a tissue injury secondary to freezing that can currently be categorized using two schemes (Cauchy and clinical scheme). However, we present a fourth-degree frostbite case with overlapping features between both classifications, generating difficulty in categorizing it using either. We wanted to raise awareness of such an atypical presentation and propose employing both classifications to define the extent and compromise of frostbite more appropriately.
冻伤是一种继发于冷冻的组织损伤，目前可使用两种分类方法（柯西分类法和临床分类法）进行分类。然而，我们呈现了一例四度冻伤病例，其具有两种分类之间的重叠特征，导致难以使用任何一种分类方法对其进行归类。我们希望提高对这种非典型表现的认识，并建议同时采用这两种分类方法来更恰当地界定冻伤的范围和损伤程度。
