From caustic soda ingestion to feeding jejunostomy
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We present the case of a young woman who after ingestion of caustic soda for autolytic purposes presented diffuse stenosis in the middle and lower thirds of the esophagus and extensive and marked stenosis of the body, gastric antrum and duodenal bulb that required a feeding jejunostomy due to total intolerance to solids and liquids. Given the characteristic endoscopic and radiological findings, as well as its difficult subsequent management, it is a challenging clinical case.
