N2  - Acute oral caustic ingestion may cause serious multiorgan failure. We described a case of patient who ingested twice large amount of liquid sodium hydroxide as a suicidal attempt. According to our knowledge this is the first case report of acute oral double intoxication with caustic substance in the medical literature. Late sequela (as esophagus stricture) after caustic ingestion may lead to extreme cachexia in spite of endoscopic and surgical treatment. Dual caustic ingestion obstructs the diagnostic and treatment and worsens patient's prognosis.<p />  <p>Language: pl</p>
