Burn injuries in children are not uncommon. Thankfully, most of these are minor (<10% body surface area) and the majority of these injured children recover well. In the case of major burns however the outcome is not always assured. They are often associated with other traumatic injuries such as smoke inhalation and sepsis.
Even if the child recovers from the initial insult, they often require input from the multidisciplinary team for a considerable time, as many attend for rehabilitation, physiotherapy, further reconstructive surgery, and psychological input.
