Abstract:
Frostbite is rare in Denmark and is often associated with psychiatric conditions or drug- and alcohol abuse. It is seen regularly in countries with an arctic climate and tradition for outdoor activities such as skiing and climbing. The past winter in Denmark was long and cold, so we may see this phenomenon more frequently in the future. We report two cases from the winter 2009/2010 and summarize the pathophysiology and briefly present the treatment strategy.
