Abstract
Gastric outlet obstruction is a well-recognized sequela of corrosive ingest ion. Such patients are traditionally treated surgically. We have treated th ree such patients with intralesional steroid injections combined with throu gh-the-scope balloon dilation. All three patients responded well and are as ymptomatic after 12 months, 14 months and 3 years and 3 months of follow-up , respectively. Endoscopic balloon dilation combined with intralesional ste roid may be an effective alternative to surgery in such patients.
