Corrosive substance ingestion is a very serious home accident, mostly common in developing countries. It frequently causes esophageal burns in the acute stage and esophageal stricture, stenosis, and even cancer in the chronic stage. Severe cases of caustic esophagitis may require esophageal replacement. We describe a case of balloon endoscopy dilation in a two-year-old girl with a severe stricture of the esophagus resulting from accidental ingestion of a corrosive substance (strong alkaline liquid) which helped the patient preserve the esophagus and prevent esophageal replacement. We describe the clinical complication and development during the treatment.
腐蚀性物质摄入是一种非常严重的家庭事故，在发展中国家最为常见。它在急性期常导致食管烧伤，在慢性期则会引起食管狭窄、闭锁，甚至癌症。严重的腐蚀性食管炎病例可能需要进行食管置换。我们描述了一例针对一名两岁女童的球囊内镜扩张术，该女童因意外摄入腐蚀性物质（强碱性液体）导致严重食管狭窄，此手术帮助患者保留了食管并避免了食管置换。我们还描述了治疗过程中的临床并发症及病情发展。
