Abstract

A burn case of 42-year-old female patient due to pressure cooker explosion associated with mandibular fracture is presented. After early tangential excision of the deep second-and third-degree-burn areas, a split-thickness skin grafting was applied. Open reduction and internal fixation therapy with miniplate system were done for linear symphysis fracture. As much as we know, there was [GRAPHICS] no report in the literature about pressure-cooking burn accompanying mandibular fracture.
