description INTRODUCTION: Ingestion of caustic substances is a life-threatening medical emergency with high morbidity and mortality rate. CASE REPORT: We present a case report of young patient who presents to our department secondary to ingestion of caustic substances was submitted to multi-visceral resection surgery having saved his life after a long and complex multidisciplinary management.
