[High esophageal perforation in a 2.5 year old child].
A case is presented of a 2,5-year-old child in whom high oesophageal perforation developed after gastric lavage due to ingestion of lethal dose of salicylates. Strong, locally irritating action of salicylates on the oesophageal mucosa was demonstrated which, most probably, was the cause of the perforation.
