ABSTRACT

Abuse of parenteral substances is a common problem in the emergency departments. Sometimes, injection of chemical substances other than drugs can be seen, especially if the patient has a mental problem. Poisoning with hydrochloric acid is a common environmental problem, but we didn’t find intravenous self-injection of this acid in the literature. In this case report, we tried to present this rare poisoning with its small regional complication.
