Fourteen cases of esophageal and gastric burns following the accidental ingestion of a caustic substance are presented. Early fiberoptic endoscopy was necessary, for it made possible a precise assessment of the severity and extent of injury and the application of proper conservative therapy. Signs and symptoms of caustic burns in children are an unreliable guide to injury, therefore, panendoscopy should be performed as soon as possible. A delay in the performance of a fiberoptic examination could result in the perforation of the affected organs.
