Pediatric burns induced by psoralens in Saudi Arabia.

Over a 5-year period, three children with psoralen-induced burns were seen. All children were on treatment for vitiligo with a psoralen oil and burns were sustained from unsupervised sun exposure while playing outdoors. The burn wound was partial thickness and involved 6-40% of the total body surface area. All wounds healed without infection or contracture with topical silver sulfadiazine. However, the previously normal skin in phototoxic areas became significantly hyperpigmented while the areas with vitiligo remained hypopigmented. Differences between psoralen-induced burns and other second degree sunburns unrelated to psoralens are discussed.

Colon-patch oesophagoplasty.

Colon-patch oesophagoplasty has been tried experimentally and used clinically to treat benign strictures of the oesophagus in children. However, reports are few. We advocate this operation and report on two cases where this technique was employed for caustic stricture using a vascularized colon patch avoiding the need for oesophageal substitution. This procedure has its immediate and late complications but after a long follow-up we are satisfied with our results. Patching is a useful alternative to substitution for limited benign strictures of oesophagus in children.
