Electrical burns in the oral cavity account for 2.2% of all electrical burns and only 0.12% of all burns; thus, the incidence of electrical burns in the oral cavity is relatively low. As this type of injury occurs in the oral cavity when an individual sucks or chews on a live electrical wire, extension cord, plug, or outlet, most cases occur in toddlers or preschool children, and adult cases are extremely rare. Here we describe a case of an electrical burn in a 56-year-old man who accidentally bit the electric wire of a cleaner while carrying out repairs. Conservative treatment, without surgery, was performed. Two years after the injury, a slight scar and a small tongue deformity remain, but no functional disturbance has been observed.
口腔电烧伤占所有电烧伤的2.2%，仅占所有烧伤的0.12%；因此，口腔电烧伤的发生率相对较低。由于这种类型的损伤发生在个体吮吸或咀嚼带电电线、延长线、插头或插座时的口腔内，大多数病例发生在幼儿或学龄前儿童中，成人病例极为罕见。在此，我们描述一例56岁男性的电烧伤病例，该患者在进行维修时意外咬到清洁器的电线。我们对其进行了非手术的保守治疗。受伤两年后，仍留有轻微瘢痕和小的舌部畸形，但未观察到功能障碍。
