Abstract
Silicone oils (dimethylpolysiloxanes) may not be as biologically inert as has been generally accepted. When injected intravenously the toxicity is, in part, a function of viscosity. A case of probable acute toxicity resulting from injection of silicone oil and the analysis of fixed tissues therein are described.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
