[Severe burn due to sulfuric acid: a report case at the National Hospital of Niamey].

Sulfuric acid is easy to obtain and leads to severe caustic burn. Caustic burns are increasingly common in homicides and suicide. We reported a case of sulfuric acid burn due to a family criminal act. Immediate skin washout was performed and avoided many complications like eyes lesion or their destruction. The skin lesion evolved in different stages of caustic burns: necrosis, tissue mortification then retractile and keloid scar. The treatment duration was 32 months.
