Abstract

ROCHA, Nicolás; APONTE, Diego  and  MONTOYA, Rigoberto. Muriatic acid: digestive exposure, case report and literature review. Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.4, pp.328-331. ISSN 0120-9957.

Digestive tract burns can create high levels of comorbidity in an exposed patient although these levels depend on the different capacities to cause harm of alkalis and acids. The ideal moment for endoscopy in these cases is currently being debated as a patient’s post burn reactions may be devastating. We present the case of a patient who attempted to commit suicide by ingesting muriatic acid including clinical findings, complications and management.

Keywords : Digestive burn; muriatic acid; endoscopy.
