ABSTRACT

Corrosive oesosophagitis secondary to the ingestion of caustic potash is very common in U.A.R. Stricture formation is the end result in about 10% of the cases. Respiratory tract complication as tracheaitis, laryngitis bronchitis and bronchopneumonia are frequent and may be fatal. The chief serious complications are oesophageal or gastric perforation with their fatal outcome. The management in the acute phase is mainly conservative. We resort to gastrostomy and tracheostomy in some cases. Dilatation is indicated only in proven cases by oesophagoscopy and oesophagram and only after the subsidence of the acute phase
