Summary:The case was a 23 year-old woman. With the intention of commiting suicide she had two draughts of hydrochloric acid which caused vomiting and she visited the hospital in. agony. The mucous membrane of the oralcavity, throat, and larynx were eroded and had a coating. She showed high degree of dysphagia. Cortisone 1, 150 mg and Penicillin 7, 200,000 units were injectcd. About a month after she swallowed the hydrochloric acid, her dysphagia appeared again and caused vomiting after meals. On the 41st. day, gastrectomy and gastroenterostomy were done. Though a method of the treatment by means of bougie failed to cure, a rubber catheter of the extended shape in the middle part was effective to extend easily and safely.
