Abstract

Gastric outlet obstruction is a common late result after acid ingestion; early complications, such as gastric necrosis or perforations are unusual. This is a report of a patient with the history of strong acid ingestion who underwent total gastrectomy due to perforation and extensive necrosis of the stomach. © 2002 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
