[Complex case with respiratory, endocrine and digestive manifestations--late complications after a colic replacement of the esophagus for lye ingestion].

Abstract

Long term complications after colic replacement of the esophagus are well known and their managment is known as being difficult, due to multiple associated comorbidities; we present the case of a 26-year-old patient with multiple late complications after a coloesophagoplaty for lye ingestion during childhood. The patient finally died despite all the eforts of treatement during a prolonged hospitalisation. We will try to analyse the key moments on patient's evolution and discuss other possible options in this case.
