Abstract

Accidental corrosive ingestion in children is one of the common problems of childhood trauma worldwide. Gastric outlet obstruction is rare, but it is a well-known complication of corrosive acid ingestion. It mostly occurs at the pylorus and antrum due to the pooling of the corrosive agent. This report presents an experience with a 7-year-old Bangladeshi boy with gastric outlet obstruction after an accidental corrosive ingestion.
