Burns are a common cause of pediatric injury and represent significant morbidity and mortality in this age group. In children, most burns are thermal, resulting from exposure to a hot surface, liquid, or fire. Cyanoacrylate is a liquid compound commonly found in households, mainly in "superglue" and nail glue. This compound solidifies through an exothermic reaction that is magnified when in contact with certain fibers that act as catalysts, such as cotton. In these circumstances, intense heat is produced in the contact area, potentially causing severe thermal burns. Despite its widespread availability, there is a paucity of safety information about cyanoacrylate and its role as a cause for burns. In the literature, only 18 cases of cyanoacrylate burns are reported in children. We present two cases of pediatric burns with cyanoacrylate and a review of the literature.
烧伤是儿童常见的损伤，在该年龄段会导致较高的发病率和死亡率。在儿童中，大多数烧伤是热烧伤，由接触热表面、液体或火焰引起。氰基丙烯酸酯是一种常见的家用液体化合物，主要存在于“超级胶水”和指甲胶中。这种化合物通过放热反应固化，当与某些起催化剂作用的纤维（如棉花）接触时，反应会加剧。在这些情况下，接触区域会产生强烈的热量，可能导致严重的热烧伤。尽管氰基丙烯酸酯广泛存在，但关于它作为烧伤原因的安全性信息却很少。在文献中，仅报道了 18 例儿童氰基丙烯酸酯烧伤病例。我们报告了两例儿童氰基丙烯酸酯烧伤病例，并对文献进行了回顾。
