Abstract

The secondary injury may present weeks to months after the initial insult and repeat bronchoscopy, and long-term follow-up is required for the respiratory complications of CSI.Ingestion of caustic fluid may cause severe tracheal stenosis. Repeated airway dilatation may be a lifesaving intervention until such point that surgery can be performed.
