Abstract

A case is presented in which ingestion of 300 CCS of liquid lye as a suicidal attempt resulted in caustic esophagogastritis, followed by a fibrotic process involving the entire esophagus and stomach down to the first portion of the duodenum. Successful colon bypass was performed from the cervical esophagus to the second portion of the duodenum.
