Abstract
Successful treatment of a case of gastroduodenal necrosis caused by the massive ingestion of muriatic acid is described. Total gastrectomy and resection of the duodenum and head of the pancreas were followed by oesophagocolonjejunoplasty. It is suggested that surgery should be as radical and as early as possible in cases where strong acids have been ingested.
