  • Title: [Acute erosion of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum].
    Author: Bielecki JW, Filippini L.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1994 Feb 26; 124(8):327-34. PubMed ID: 8134811.
    Abstract:
    Acute burns of the oesophago-gastro-duodenal tract require an immediate diagnostic and therapeutic approach. Early endoscopy has been shown to assist greatly in determining the further treatment of corrosive injury. The main task of radiology is to detect perforations. While first degree burns cause hardly any therapeutic problems, second and third degree burns require intensive care right from the start. Later, possible stricture formation warrants chief attention. Early corticosteroid treatment seems to be effective in preventing stricture development in second degree burns.
