CaseA six year old girl accidentally ingested a liquid caustic, it was on a soda recipient, she drink on june-26-2017, immediately she begin with droolong and severe mouth pain. Endoscopy revealed white fibrinous plaques, erythematic and hemorrhage in all espohagus mucosa. She was put on fast about one week, a surgical gastrostomy was done, it was closed in about two weeks; she was in other city. On august 16-2017, 51days after caustic ingestion, she arrived to our hospital; at that time, she has three days with dysphagia to solids and liquids, she has acrocianosis and choked with her saliva. The first nine days she is on the hospital, and are done the first three esophageal stenosis dilations; after discharged, she is maintained with esophageal dilations three, two or one per week.In the first endoscopy, a punctate stenosis is documented, al 19cm from superior incisors, an alambric guide wire is passed and followed by 5mm Savary-Guilliard dilator, at this time, she developed gastric dilation, as air passed through the esophageal stenosis, but could not get out; abdominal circumference severely increased; pediatric surgeon evaluated the patient, he determined she only has deglutated air into stomach. After several esophageal dilations, the diameter increased from 1-2mm to 18mm, the frecuency diminished from three to two per week, but the esophageal diameter diminished from 18 to 8mm, so, the frecuency of esophageal dilations increased once again; two more times we try to have two dilations per week, the problema is the esophageal diameter diminished to 8mm from 18mm. After 57 esophageal dilations, on march-24-18 an expandible metalic esophageal stent, completely covered, with anti-reflux mechanism, with diameter of 20mm by 10 length cm is put on two distal thirds of esophagus and proximal stomach.She does not need esophageal dilation while stent was located on esphagus; it remained there just a little bit more than two months, after one and a half month, she begin with dysphagia to solids which; in three weeks, progress to dysphagia to liquids, until she could not pass nothing by mouth three days before she was carried to the hospital, on june-8-2018. Thoracic and abdominal X-rays demonstrated migration of the stent to stomach. Endoscopy revealed stricture of 8-9mm, with irregular surface, which bleed as endoscope, of 9.8mm, passed through stomach. The proximal part of stent is located to the antrum, and distal part is on proximal part of stomach body, with its body convexaly curved to front view of the endoscope. In retroflexion, the...
