Hydrogen peroxide poisoning: an unusual cause of portal venous gas

Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is an oxidizing agent found in many household products. It is a clear liquid at room temperature, allowing it to be mistaken for water if unlabelled. Ingestion of H(2)O(2) can have serious sequelae even in low volumes and concentrations.We present a case study of H(2)O(2...
