There is a paucity of published data on the specific problems of burns in pregnancy, despite the high mortality for both the mother and the fetus. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Aim: </span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">In this </span><span style="font-family:Verdana;">paper</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> we will discuss all cases of acute burns in pregnant women admitted to the Burns Department in Al-Mouassat University Hospital in Damascus during the period between October 2017 and October 2019. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Materials and Methods:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> A retrospective study of records over 2 years was conducted.
