Abstract :Although corrosive injury of the digestive tract is a well-known clinical entity, damages of the airway, a critically life-threatening condition, has not been clearly documented. Tracheal stenosis is very rare associated with corrosive acid ingestion. We report the case of a 4-year-old girl child who presented to the emergency department three week after accidentally drinking an acidic cleaning agent stored in unlabeled bottle. Rigid bronchoscopy was carried out to observe the stenosis. She was treated by serial dilation, repair of tracheal laceration, and placement of a temporary polyurethane-coated nitinol stent. Careful and accurate stent placement may provide significant and life-saving airway improvement as observed in the presenting pediatric case.
