Abstract

Corrosive acid ingestion in pregnancy is rare. We present a rare case of corrosive acid ingestion during pregnancy. The patient subsequently had tracheal stenosis and had to undergo a tracheostomy. Feeding gastrostomy was created for nutritional support of both mother and fetus. The patient delivered at term by an elective caesarean section.
