Elderly patients commonly present to hospital following a collapse and period of distressing immobilisation on the floor. We present a case of bilateral trench foot in such a patient with no prior peripheral vascular disease. Examination of the feet is mandatory for early detection of this rare condition in the collapsed elderly patient.

Keywords: trench foot, elderly, collapse
