Abstract

Chemical injuries from household products cause significant morbidity and mortality annually in pediatric patients. We present a rare case of a 21-month-old male with significant esophageal and cutaneous chemical burns secondary to non-accidental trauma. Given the unique challenges associated with multiple burn types we describe this case and provide a current review of the literature on the management of these potentially devastating injuries.
