Gangrene Neurotrophic

Gangrene Neurotrophic (GN), also known as tendon gangrene, is a rare disease that affects the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and tendons. It causes tissue necrosis, which can lead to amputation of limbs or even death of the patient.

GN is caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the nerve endings that provide nutrition to the skin and tendons. This causes tissue to begin to die and gangrene forms. Symptoms of GN include pain, redness and swelling of the affected area, and loss of sensation in the area.

GN can occur in people with various medical conditions such as diabetes, atherosclerosis and arteriovenous disorders, as well as in those who suffer from injury or infection. Treatment for GN may include surgery, antibiotics, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which helps improve blood flow and stimulate tissue healing.

Although GN is a rare disease, it can have serious consequences for the patient's health. Therefore, it is important to seek prompt medical attention and monitor the condition of your feet, especially if you have risk factors for developing GN. It is important to remember that prevention and timely treatment can significantly reduce the risk of this disease and its complications.
