Although uncommon in developed countries because of better care of children,many children in developing countries continue to sustain corrosive esophageal injuries. Ingestion of corrosive substance can produce severe injury to the gastrointestinal tract and can even result in death. In the acute stage,perforation and necrosis may occur. Long-term complications include stricture formation in the esophagus, antral stenosis and the development of esophageal carcinoma. Stricture formation is more common in patients with second and third degree burns.Keywords: Esophageal stenosis; caustics; childTurkiye Klinikleri J Surg Med Sci 2007, 3(15):62-65
