Corrosive agents cause severe damage to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The most severe forms of injury can lead to mortality; however, the major concern with this type of injury is life-long morbidity. Upper GI endoscopy is the test of choice for assessing severity in the acute phase of the disease. The long-term management is based on the site, length, number, location, and tightness of the stricture. This information is best provided by the barium contrast studies. In this pictorial review, a spectrum of findings in patients with corrosive injuries of the esophagus and stomach is illustrated. The role of various imaging modalities including barium studies, endoscopic ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging is discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijri.ijri_349_18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,5]],"date-time":"2019-04-05T08:42:14Z","timestamp":1554453734000},"page":"6-13","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Corrosive injuries of the upper gastrointestinal tract: A pictorial review of the imaging features"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Rohan","family":"Kamat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pankaj","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Imaging and Research (PGIMER), GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yalaka Rami","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Imaging and Research (PGIMER), GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suman","family":"Kochhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis and Imaging, GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Birinder","family":"Nagi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Imaging and Research (PGIMER), GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rakesh","family":"Kochhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Imaging and Research (PGIMER), GMCH, Chandigarh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.1186\/s13017-015-0043-4","article-title":"Caustic ingestion management: World society of emergency surgery preliminary survey of expert opinion","volume":"10","author":"Y Kluger","year":"2015","journal-title":"World J Emerg Surg"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3918","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v19.i25.3918","article-title":"Caustic injury of the upper gastrointestinal tract: A comprehensive review","volume":"19","author":"S Contini","year":"2013","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"1","article-title":"Ingestion of corrosive substances by adults","volume":"87","author":"V V Gumaste","year":"1992","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"31","article-title":"A hospital-based epidemiological study of corrosive alimentary injuries with particular reference to the Indian experience","volume":"26","author":"C P Lakshmi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Natl Med J India"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"914013","article-title":"Acute corrosive injuries of the stomach: A single unit experience of thirty years","volume":"2011","author":"N Ananthakrishnan","year":"2011","journal-title":"ISNR Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-200308000-00005","article-title":"Corrosive ingestion in adults","volume":"37","author":"K Ramasamy","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Clin Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"135","article-title":"Corrosive injury to the upper gastrointestinal tract","volume":"12","author":"D Lahoti","year":"1993","journal-title":"Indian J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1080\/02841850410003329","article-title":"Radiological spectrum of late sequelae of corrosive injury to upper gastrointestinal tract.
