Abstract
We discuss the presentation and management of a young person who presented to the emergency department with butane toxicity. A delay in recognition of butane toxicity can have fatal consequences. On the contrary, prompt recognition of the clinical scenario by physicians can lead to early commencement of appropriate treatment with a potential for full recovery.
