Abstract

Introduction: Negative pressure therapy (NPT) or subatmospheric pressure therapy is an active treatment
of the wound caused by a burn, with of an intelligent system that regulates the distribution of vacuum pressure throughout the injured area, facilitating the formation of scar tissue absent from local infection in a short time. Case report: GMM, 45 years old, white, female, obese, was a burn victim of l and ll grade evolving to lll degree, in the posterior region of the right arm, during the magnetic resonance (MRI) examination of skull and pelvis. Comments: The NPT must compose the therapeutic arsenal of surgeons for the treatment of wounds caused by burns, as it represents a quick and comfortable option to conventional methods of treatment. The correct understanding of the functioning of MRI by radiology professionals, in order to better deal with aspects related to safety is very important to avoid adverse effects in patients
