Aims: The objective of this study was to understand the demographic features, clinical findings, role of endoscopy and acute complications of caustic ingestion in our population. Materials & Methods: In this single center retrospective study, records of patients with history of caustic ingestion for the past 10 years were reviewed and analysed. Results: Out of total 62 cases of corrosive ingestion, 33 (53.2%) were males and 29 (46.8%) were females, with mean age of 19.4±11.7 years. Most common mucosal injury on early endoscopy was Grade II (72.5%), followed by Grade I (17.6%) and Grade III (9.8%). Esophagus was involved in 100% patients, stomach in 88.23%, duodenum in 33.33% and oropharynx in 82.5%. Severe mucosal injury (≥ grade IIb) seen in 43.13 %, was the predictor of acute complications which included UGI Bleed(3), ICU admission(8), Multiorgan failure(3) and death(3). Conclusion: Early endoscopy is safe, helps in assessing the severity and extent of injury, in planning proper management and predicting outcome
