Resumen:

The paper refers to a case of acute gastric necrosis due to the ingestion of hydrochloric acid. There is an acute stage dominated by collapse, respiratory' insufficiency,acidosis and faringo-esophago-gastric burns; a subacute stage of gastric necrosis with perforation and peritonitis. At this stage we performed an atypical segmentarygastrectomy, and we made a gastric · tube. The treatment was ,completed by a degravitational gastrostomy and a transgástric duodenostomy for feeding. There was an intermediate stage characterized by digestive fistulas, digestive hemorraghes and a deep metabolic perturbation. Our patient is still in this stage, which may last for many years,and in which there is always the danger of a cicatrical stenosis; should this happen, we would have to resort to a plastic procedure.


Presentamos un caso de necrosis gástrica aguda por ingestión de ácido clorhídrico. Destacamos: una etapa aguda dominada por el colapso, la insuficiencia respiratoria, la acidosis y la quemadura faringoesofágica gástrica. Una etapa subaguda de necrosis gástrica -con perforación y peritonitis, en la cual procedimos a realizar una gastrectomía segmentaria atípica, confeccionando un tubo gástrico. Se completó el tratamiento con una gastrostomía de degravitación y una duodenostomía transgástrica de alimentación. Unaetapa intermedia caracterizada por las fístulas digestivas, las hemorragias digestivas y el profundo trastorno metabólico. Nuestra paciente cursa aún esta etapa, ésta que puede ser de muchos años, donde hay siempre que temer la aparición de una estenosis cicatricial; de suceder esto, habría que recurrir a un procedimiento plástico.
