Abstract

This report concerns a case of esophageal stricture treatment after drinking corrosive substances (strong acid). Esophageal stricture can be caused by a malignancy and non-malignancy, including strong acid. Manifestations of esophageal stricture include swallowing difficulty, particularly solid food, sore throat on swallowing, and history of drinking or ingestion of corrosive substances. The therapeutic principle of esophageal stricture includes maintaining the esophageal mucosa to maintain good esophageal patency, esophageal diameter, minimizing stricture and fibrosis formations, and minimizing mucosal tissue damage
