| Core Tip |
Endoscopy best assesses mucosal injury, but it cannot reliably evaluate transmural or extra-luminal complications. Computed tomography provides complementary cross-sectional information, identifying necrosis, perforation, and mediastinal or peritoneal involvement, and is especially valuable when endoscopy is contraindicated or inconclusive. Together, they provide a comprehensive evaluation that improves risk stratification and guides management in acute caustic ingestion. |
