Talking about spontaneous amputation nowadays seems out of date, as it’s almost impossible; yet, it is the case of the 38 years old man, known as a drug addict with notions of cocaine use. Researches in the literature put in evidence that the rare cases of spontaneous amputation published did not involve cocaine. It is about cases published in the medicine, surgery, and pharmacy diary since the 18th century. For example, the case of Dr Vandergracht, surgeon of his time who, in diagnosing a hand and forearm gangrenes during the Lille’s epidemic between 1749 and 1750, preferred to wait before performing the amputation until the mortification was absolutely limited. Also, the case of this young 20 years old man who was victim of a ballistic trauma in 1839.
