Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) 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 H2O2 can have serious sequelae even in low volumes and concentrations.We present a case study of H2O2 poisoning and discuss the pertinent radiographical findings.

This research demonstrates the value of a formal training programme in preparing registrars for extended after-hours reporting duties and contributing to important departmental service provision.
