شماره ركورد

Abstract
Esophageal burns due to caustic substance ingestion are frequently observed in developing countries. In this report a 4-year-old girl is presented with esophageal burn due to the ingestion of the substance used to prepare pickles that produced by a local company and known as pickling solution among the people. Pickling solutions are products that can easily be found on the shelves of grocery stores and some can be harmful because they contain acetic acid. It’s aimed to raise awareness about these products because unlike other corrosive products the families don’t see the danger as it is used in making food.
