Abstract

Frostbite arising from nitrous oxide (N(2)O) inhalation is rare. As such, there is no consensus on best treatment for these injuries. In all published reports, judicious use of corticosteroids and antibiotics has resulted in positive clinical outcomes; we endorse these agents in our case of a young man with oropharyngeal burns.
