Abstract
Accidental acute exposure to sodium hypochlorite solutions produces a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations [1–6]. However, peripheral mononeuropathy has not been reported. We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl who experienced radial nerve palsy as a result of direct injection of bleach in a suicide attempt. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated two muscle lesions and disappearance of fat planes around the superficial and deep branches of the radial nerve. The patient’s clinical outcome was favourable, with recovery of radial nerve function. MRI was useful for determining the morphology and extent of the caustic injury.
