    Glossary Autoamputation

    spontaneous detachment of a body part due to disease

    Autoamputation refers to the spontaneous detachment of a body part, typically a digit or limb, due to severe disease or injury. This phenomenon can occur in conditions like advanced diabetes, severe frostbite, or certain infections, where the affected tissue becomes necrotic and eventually separates from the healthy tissue without surgical intervention.
