- Abstract
Corrosives are a group of chemicals that have the capacity to cause tissue injury on contact by a chemical reaction. They most commonly affect the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), respiratory system and eyes. Corrosives and caustics are synonyms, both mean 'something that eats away'. Injury to upper gastrointestinal tract due to corrosive acid ingestion either accidentally or intentionally is more common in India. We report a case of accidental fatal corrosive acid ingestion with literature.
