Coming soonBurning caused by hydrofluoric acid is a chemical injury primarily affecting the integumentary system, though mucosal, ocular, or deeper musculoskeletal tissues can also be involved.
Pathophysiologically, free hydrogen ions cause superficial tissue corrosion, while lipophilic fluoride ions penetrate deeply into tissues, inducing liquefactive necrosis and cellular destruction.
The condition is clinically distinguished by severe, throbbing pain that is characteristically out of proportion to early physical findings, which may range from delayed erythema with dilute solutions to immediate blanching, blistering, and deep ulceration with concentrated exposures.
Progressive transdermal absorption of fluoride ions can chelate endogenous divalent cations, leading to systemic complications such as hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, and potentially lethal cardiac dysrhythmias.
