Abstract
Paraphenylene diamine the content of most of the hair dye preparations is known to cause several local and systemic complications when ingested. Complications like angioedema, rhabdomyolysis, intravascular haemolysis, oliguria, acute tubular necrosis/acute renal failure are well known. Though cardiac complications has been reported but rarely in the literature.
