Abstract
Pharyngeal and pharyngoesophageal penetrating injury occurred in six children following the explosive discharge of compressed carbon dioxide into their mouths. The gas was contained in plastic, screw-cap soft-drink containers overpressurized by the addition of dry ice. Three children were managed surgically and three conservatively. All recovered fully, and at follow-up of from 3 to 52 months, swallowing is normal.
