| Core Tip |
Management of acute adult corrosive injuries remains internationally under-reported, but specifically in sub-Saharan Africa. This large series of 100 patients highlights the high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially when full thickness necrosis is established. Predicting necrosis on admission is challenging, with international guidelines proposing computed tomography (CT) as the investigation of choice. With limited availability of CT, endoscopy still performs well in our setting. CT should be considered in patients with suspected severe corrosive injury with abnormal findings on blood gas (pH, base excess, and lactate) serving as accurate and practical markers of severity in a low-resource setting. |
