TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Caustic ingestion in a suicide attempt JO - Acta pediátrica Española A1 - Márquez De La Plata Alonso, L. A1 - Santos, M. A1 - Iglesias, C. A1 - Huber, L. A1 - Morales, J.L. A1 - Sánchez, O. A1 - Sanchez, C. SP - 573 EP - 575 VL - 64 IS - 11 N2 - The lesions produced by caustic substances are usually mild because the amount ingested is small. However, in a suicide attempt, serious damage to the esophagus is more common. We report the case of a 14-year-old patient with a previous diagnosis of depression, who was brought to the emergency service after drinking a caustic alkali.
