Abstract
We report a case of corrosive burns to the mouth, oesophagus and trachea in a three-year-old boy who ingested potassium permanganate crystals. The pathophysiology and treatment options are discussed. The prevention of accidental ingestion could be improved with careful packaging of the solid tablet or crystalline forms.Entities:
