Abstract
A case of liquid lye ingestion with late aortic rupture is reported. The rupture occurred 44 days after the lye ingestion. This case report shows that the lye induced tissue damage has a long duration and may lead to late aortic rupture, especially if there is an additional trauma to the esophagus due to dilatation and perforation of the esophageal wall.Keywords
