The acute injury and long-term sequelae resulting from esophageal corrosive injury have become the key and difficult points in the treatment of esophageal corrosive injury in children. This paper reviews the occurrence mechanism and the latest treatment schemes of esophageal corrosive injury, emphasizing the significance of correctly choosing emergency treatment measures and treatment plans for long-term sequelae, with the aim of reducing the occurrence of complications. It has practical guiding significance for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal corrosive injury in children.
