Abstract

 

Herein we report a case that is a 32-year-old pregnant woman with esophageal and pyloric stricture caused by the

accidental ingestion of Fehling’s solution. Numerous bougie dilatations were applied for the severe esophageal

stricture in our patient both pre and post-delivery period. Monthly controls are going on for the case and 13 mm

Savary-Gilliard bougie can be passed through easily at present. Meanwhile, she underwent pyloroplasty operation

at the post-delivery period since two attempts of pyloric balloon dilatation procedure have failed.

Finally, dilatation with Savary-Gilliard bougies is a quite effective method, which can be also used in pregnant

patients.
