Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide, at 35% concentration, is a potent surface cleaner not intended for ingestion. We present a case of unintentional ingestion of 35% hydrogen peroxide by a 3-year-old male that resulted in portal venous gas. In particular, we illustrate the correlation of ultrasound with computed tomography with the prospect of pediatric patients avoiding unnecessary ionizing radiation and barriers to care.
