Caustic ingestion in children is a significant cause of morbidity despite preventive measures. Upon arrival to the emergency department, these children are often initially seen by the otolaryngologist...
We performed a retrospective chart review of children 18 years or younger admitted because of caustic ingestion between January 2007 and November 2019....
Forty-one children with a median age of 4.2 years (interquartile range, 1.7-16.7 years) were included; of them, 22 (53.6%) were males. Nineteen children (46.3%) underwent EGD, which revealed no pathol...
In children, after caustics ingestion, laryngopharyngeal signs and symptoms may predict a higher risk for complications development in comparison with gastrointestinal signs and symptoms. We therefore...
Caustic ingestion management could be improved with a diagnostic approach based on risk factors. This study aimed to develop an algorithm derived from predictive factors of a poor clinical course, to ...
All patients older than 15 years presenting with caustic ingestion in our tertiary care hospital between 1995 and 2021 were prospectively included. Adverse outcome was defined as intensive care unit a...
The sample included 532 cases of caustic ingestion, 13.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.3-16.0) of which had adverse outcomes. Volume and type of caustic substance; presence of symptoms and pharyn...
A risk-based algorithm could improve caustic ingestion management by maintaining high diagnostic accuracy while reducing diagnostic test requirements....
To analyze the efficacy of intralesional steroid treatment in refractory caustic esophageal stricture....
An analytical, retrospective study of patients receiving intralesional steroid treatment with triamcinolone acetonide as a result of refractory caustic esophageal stricture was carried out. Demographi...
N= 5. Median age: 5 years (17 months-7 years). Follow-up: 6.60 ± 2.70 years. Swallowed products included NaOH, KOH, and ClH. Zargar classification at follow-up initiation was IIb (n= 2), IIIa (n= 1), ...
Even though there is limited evidence available in the pediatric population, intralesional triamcinolone treatment is seemingly useful in the treatment of refractory caustic esophageal stricture, sinc...
Esophageal injury after caustic ingestion can vary in severity and may result in significant long-term morbidity due to stricture development. The optimal management remains unknown. We aim to determi...
The Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) was utilized to identify patients 0-18 years old who experienced caustic ingestion from January 2007-September 2015 and developed subsequent esophageal s...
1,588 patients from 40 hospitals experienced caustic ingestion of which 56.6% were male, 32.5% non-Hispanic White, and the median age at time of injury was 2.2 years (IQR: 1.4,4.8). Median length of i...
Many patients with esophageal stricture after caustic ingestion will require multiple procedural interventions and potentially major surgery. These patients may benefit from early multi-disciplinary c...

Caustic ingestion is still a health problem of utmost importance in the West. In developing countries, this incident remains at increase and it is associated with unfavorable factors like social, econ...
We aimed to describe a patient with multiple caustic ingestions who presented an esophagocele resected by videothoracoscopy....
A woman ingested caustic soda when she was only 17 years old in a suicidal attempt during a depressive crisis. Initially, she was submitted to a retrosternal esophagocoloplasty with the maintenance of...
The esophagocele was resected through videothoracoscopy in a prone position, employing four trocars. The postoperative was uneventful....
Esophageal exclusion must always be recorded because esophagocele presents unspecific symptoms. The videothoracoscopy in a prone position is an excellent technical option to resect esophagoceles....
Chemical substances are important causes of gastrointestinal tract injuries and usually affect two groups of patients: children under 5 years of age and adults who attempt suicide. Its effects can ran...
A clinical case of a 48-year-old male patient with no chronic degenerative history is presented, who began suffering after accidental ingestion of caustic substance 4 months ago with dysphagia to liqu...
Although associated with high rates of anastomotic stricture, transhiatal esophagectomy and gastric pull-up with cervical anastomosis are safe procedures for the treatment of caustic esophageal strict...
Ingestion of caustic agents by children is a serious health issue that can affect the patient for the rest of his life. The role of sucralfate in preventing stricture caused by caustic agents is contr...
Suicide methods chosen by victims are particularly critical in suicide risk research. To differentiate suicide deaths, it is usual to categorize them as violent and nonviolent depending on the detrime...
In this study, we retrospectively analyzed suicides that occurred between 1993 and 2021 in Milan (Italy) and that underwent autopsy. We compared a sample of 40 victims that ingested caustic substances...
Suicides by caustic ingestion showed substantial differences compared to violent suicides, with a higher severe profile. However, some differences were reported comparing caustic ingestion to other ch...
Caustic ingestion is relatively common in developing countries and can result in life-threatening sequelae. There is limited understanding of the epidemiology and incidence in Australia....
This statewide 10-year audit aims to document the rate of caustic injury in a defined Australian pouplation....
A retrospective review was conducted over 10 years (2007-2016), including all admissions to hospitals in Victoria. This includes a population of 5.9 million people and 22 hospitals....
Three hundred and eighty-four cases of caustic ingestion were admitted to hospital between January 2007 and December 2016. The overall incidence was 7 cases/million/year. This cohort included 217 (56....
Caustic ingestion remains a significant cause of morbidity and health expenditure in Victoria, particularly among vulnerable groups such as recent female migrants from areas in Africa and India. The h...
