There are often problems such as additional systemic disease, immobility and sensory impairment in the pediatric case in which the pressure sore develops. In the cases in which there are not such problems, the pressure sore development emerges due to unfamiliar reasons. At this study, the case in the infantile period in which the pressure sore develops in the gluteal area after diaper usage is presented. The case has been hospitalized and debridement has been applied to the gluteal necrotic tissue defect, after the wound care program repairment with partial thickness skin graft has been implemented. Parents taking care of the baby have to make tiny distinctions in order to solve the problem of the baby reacting abnormally because the baby does not have the ability to talk or of any reason. As monitored in our case, the parents of the baby a part of whose body was under pressure were late to find a solution and the necrotic defects occurred has affected baby's health negatively. On the other hand, such carelessness cause problems that parents would be held responsible juridically and cause problems to impose penal sanctions. Therefore the role of the media and social organizations essential for educating and raising the awareness of the parents about this case is important. In the literature review we have made, we have not come across with any parameter about the pressure sore developing due to diaper pressure in babyhood. Therefore, our case is rather interesting in terms of its unusual etiology.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPressure SoreNapkinGluteal NecrosisGLUTEAL NECROSIS DUE TO DIAPER PRESSURE: CASE REPORTGLUTEAL NECROSIS DUE TO DIAPER PRESSURE: CASE REPORTArticle1913942WOS:000416767100011N/A
