Journal ArticleDOI
A controlled trial of corticosteroids in children with corrosive injury of the esophagus
TL;DR: There appears to be no benefit from the use of steroids to treat children who have ingested a caustic substance and the development of esophageal stricture was related only to the severity of the corrosive injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caustic ingestion: controversies in management. A review of 214 cases.
TL;DR: The results of this study, and this review as a whole, indicate that methylprednisolone is beneficial in moderately severe burns due toLye, but is not indicated for severe burns from liquid lye, or for acid burns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathophysiology and management of acute corrosive burns of the esophagus: Results of treatment in 285 children
TL;DR: The strong impression is that immediate steroid-antibiotic therapy greatly decreases the incidence of esophageal stricture but does not completely eliminate it, and those children who develop strictures on this treatment regimen seem to have milder esophagal scarring, which usually responds to dilatation rather than requiring esophages replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrosive esophagitis in children: a 30-year review.
TL;DR: A 30-year retrospective review of aerodigestive tract caustic injuries at The Hospital for Sick Children reports on the economic and social consequences to the child and family, and an analysis of those children requiring esophageal replacement surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in endoscopy of infants and children.
Stephen L. Gans,George Berci +1 more
TL;DR: Combining this with television, teaching and learning the art and methods of endoscopy are enhanced, while making the procedure shorter, more accurate and less demanding on a critically ill patient.

Journal ArticleDOI
The comparative effect of current therapy on experimental caustic burns of the esophagus.
J. Alex Haller,Keith Bachman +1 more
TL;DR: A method for the experimental production of a standard caustic burn of the cat9s esophagus was presented in this paper, where a combination of steroid and antibiotic yielded the most favorable results with the lowest incidence of stricture formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of experimental esophageal stricture by cortisone. II. Control of suppurative complications by penicillin.
TL;DR: It was shown that when large doses of cortisone were administered to rabbits after chemical (sodium hydroxide) burns of the esophagus, the tendency to fibrous stricture formation was remarkably diminished.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of cortisone on experimental lye burn of the esophagus
TL;DR: Almost complete inhibition of inflammatory response and subsequent granulations following mechanical injury is demonstrated and there is no difference in the granulations between treated and control rats, if the administration of cortisone is delayed 48 hours after injury.
