Accidental corrosive ingestion is a common occurrence in developing nations. In most of the cases these agents damage the oesophagus and stomach. Isolated injury of pylorus of stomach has a relatively low incidence. We report such a case of accidental ingestion of corrosive acid, which resulted in isolated stenosis of the pyloric antrum. The diagnosis was confirmed by Barium meal and endoscopy. The patient underwent gastro jejunostomy and recovered well after the surgery. A brief discussion of mechanism of corrosive injury, clinical features, investigations and management follows.
