A patient who ingested formaldehyde in a suicide attempt is described. Although early clinical and endoscopic manifestations appeared relatively mild, after several weeks the patient developed signs and symptoms suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction that eventually required surgical intervention. Formaldehyde ingestion has only rarely been described in the literature. Formaldehyde is a corrosive that can produce late sequelae, similar to the more common ingestion of acids and alkali.
本文描述了一名试图自杀而摄入甲醛的患者。尽管早期临床和内镜表现相对较轻，但数周后患者出现了提示胃出口梗阻的体征和症状，最终需要手术干预。文献中关于摄入甲醛的报道很少。甲醛是一种腐蚀性物质，可产生晚期后遗症，类似于更常见的酸和碱摄入。
