Abstract

A case report is presented of a young male who sustained a second-degree frostbite injury to the oral cavity, to include lower lip, hard palate, tongue, and buccal mucosa. This unusual injury occurred as a result of substance abuse: an attempt to inhale an aerosolized propane propellant as a means to achieve euphoria.
