Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use has grown exponentially since its introduction to the US market in 2007.1 Sales went largely unregulated until 2016, when the Food and Drug Administration expanded tobacco laws to encompass the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of e-cigarette products.2,3 Production safety standards are still being established. Rechargeable lithium batteries used have been reported to combust. The US Fire Administration reported 195 cases of e-cigarette explosions and fires from 2009 to 2016. The proximity of the explosions can cause serious burns and facial trauma to the user.3,4 We present a case report of a 30-year-old woman with oral soft tissue and dental injuries, C1 fracture, and left vertebral artery dissection from an e-cigarette explosion.
自2007年电子烟引入美国市场以来，其使用量呈指数级增长。1在2016年之前，电子烟的销售基本不受监管，直到当年美国食品药品监督管理局扩大了烟草法律的范围，将电子烟产品的制造、分销和营销纳入其中。2,3生产安全标准仍在制定中。据报道，电子烟所使用的可充电锂电池会燃烧。美国消防管理局报告称，2009年至2016年期间发生了195起电子烟爆炸和火灾事件。爆炸的近距离影响可能会给使用者造成严重烧伤和面部创伤。3,4我们报告一例30岁女性因电子烟爆炸导致口腔软组织和牙齿损伤、C1骨折以及左椎动脉夹层的病例。
