Abstract

The authors get the idea from the observation of a case of ingestion of muriatic acid, recently happened by Clinical Surgery II of the IRCCS Polyclinic "San Matteo" of Pavia in order to examine carefully the matter. The rareness of the shown case is given by the whole involvement of only the stomach, without damages for the oropharynx and the esophagus. The total gastrectomy executed 6 months after the ingestion of the acid has given to the patient the whole recovery. The follow-up checked for a periodical time of 6 months for a period of about five years, permits to observe the normal intestinal canalization without stenitical symptoms or zonas with degenerative risk.
