Autoamputation In 1881, Thornton made the case of autoamputation (Lee et al, 1). 1). Autoamputation could be the result of severe cases of certain chronic wounds. These chronic wounds might be due to some vascular and pathogenic conditions (Cryer, 66) like Buerger disease other called thromboangiitis obliterans, Raynaud’s disease and Reynaud’s phenomenon. Also, an uncontrolled diabetes can predispose one to autoamputation (Cryer, 66). However, autoamputation has been described as spontaneous (Kausik et al, 573). There have been reported cases of ovarian autoamputation in a newborn (Can et al 1156) and also in a mature ovary of adults (Lee et al, 1) Though autoamputation is often regarded as an acquired ailment, it could also be congenital (Lee et al, 1). Chronic torsion or a delay in the diagonosis of acute adnextal torsion has been attributed as causes of acquired autoamputation (Lee et al, 1) •	And the tip of middle finger (Behera, et al, 728)

Types of autoamputation

Though its facts are being unraveled and analyzed, autoamputation can be categorized as acute, subacute or chronic (Lee et al, 1). Acute autoamputation is characterized by turmor necrosis. This is accompanied by inadequate supply of blood to the heart and other body parts (ischemia) leading to the degeneration of the cells, a condition known as atropy (Lee, et al 1). Chronic or subacute autoamputation is evident in the attachment of the tumor to other cells surrounding it (Lee et al, 1). There is a rare possibility of the tumor detaching itself from the pedicle. When this happens, it could be parasitic. Treatment of autoamputation One possible way of treating autoamputation is by the use of honey. Manuka honey has been touted as a leading natural treatment for autoamputation. Generally, honey is effective in healing a wide range of infections. This capability stems from the fact that it is acidic, hence creating a toxic environment for proteases. It accomplishes this by releasing oxygen from haemoglobin (Cryer, 66). Another way is by surgery (……..).
