Summary

Perioral electrical burns in infants, often from biting cords, cause significant deformities. Reconstruction using nasolabial flaps offers functional and aesthetic restoration for these rare injuries.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Pediatric Burns
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Perioral electrical burns are uncommon household injuries, typically affecting children under three years old.
  • These injuries result from biting electrical cords, leading to functional and aesthetic impairments.

Observation:

  • An eleven-month-old infant sustained a severe perioral electrical burn after biting a television cable.
  • The burn affected 60% of the lower lip, mentum, left oral commissure, tongue, and floor of the mouth.
  • Necrotic tissue separation and labial artery bleeding occurred on the eighth day post-injury.

Findings:

  • A reconstructive approach utilized an inferior-based nasolabial flap for the extensive lower lip defect.
  • The flap's mucosa was adapted to reconstruct the lower lip vermillion, addressing both form and function.
