title: Spontaneous resolution of acid gastric injury.
abstract: While alkali ingestion nearly always injures the esophagus, acid usually spares the esophagus and damages the gastric outlet. Most reported cases of acid gastric injury have required resection. We report a case of acid ingestion managed with parenteral nutrition and histamine blockers in which healing is documented without operation.
