Abstract
In spite of efforts to make electrical fittings safe, the incidence of electrical burns of the mouth at Children's Hospital Medical Center has increased. Mouthing a live female extension cord plug is the most common mechanism of injury. Bleeding occurred in 25% of the cases, some time between the first and twenty-first post burn day. Management has therefore included hospitalization during this vulnerable period. Late plastic surgical revision after scar maturation was necessary in 83% of the cases.
