Late aortic rupture after lye ingestion

A Ottosson

    Archives of Toxicology
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Liquid lye ingestion can cause delayed aortic rupture weeks later. Esophageal damage from lye and subsequent procedures increases this risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Liquid lye ingestion is a severe corrosive injury.
    • Esophageal and aortic injuries are known complications.

    Observation:

    • A case of late aortic rupture 44 days post-ingestion of liquid lye.
    • The patient had undergone esophageal dilatation and perforation.

    Findings:

    • Lye-induced tissue damage can persist long-term.
    • Delayed aortic rupture is a potential, severe sequela.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider delayed aortic rupture in patients with prior lye ingestion.
    • Long-term monitoring may be necessary for these patients.
    • Further research into the mechanisms of delayed vascular injury is warranted.
