Cold injuries are caused by exposure to cold weather, water, fluid or gas. Cold injuries are classified as hipothermia and local cold injuries. Mortality and morbidity in these patients are worthy to note due to lack and inadequacy of treatment. 46 years old patient who walked for 6 hours on snowy road was admitted to emergency department with loss of feeling, pain, motor deficiency, and skin discoloration. In this case report we review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and different treatment methods of accidental hypothermia.
