TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Gastric and esophageal dysfunction after ingestion of acid JO - Gastroenterology A1 - Marion, L. A1 - Sanders, B. A1 - Nayfield, S. A1 - Zfass, A. M. SP - 502 EP - 503 VL - 75 IS - 3 N2 - Esophageal and gastric function was measured in a patient who swallowed a household acid solution. Dysphagia, transient ulceration of the esophagus with luminal narrowing, and complete loss of peristalsis without loss of lower esophageal sphincter function were noted. Gastric dysfunction appeared 2 weeks after ingestion with complete obstruction, necessitating antral resection. The proximal stomach was relatively spared.
