Case description

After the stenosis has been overcome with the dilation, a view of the Colonic interposition is seen. Industrial products are usually the most damaging because they are highly concentrated. However, some common household products, including drain and toilet bowl cleaners and some dishwasher detergents, contain damaging caustic substances, such as sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid. Because caustic substances can cause as much damage returning up the esophagus as they did when swallowed, a person who has swallowed a caustic substance should not be made to vomit.
