Article Synopsis
- Acute caustic gastric injuries result in high rates of mortality and morbidity, with damage ranging from mild irritation to severe necrosis and complications like fistulas or strictures.
- Timely diagnosis and management are essential, with endoscopy being important but not suitable for critically ill patients, leading to a preference for thoraco-abdominal CT scans instead.
- The CT scan is non-invasive, effectively evaluates the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs, and enhances emergency care by accurately identifying patients who may require surgery.
