Abstract

We experienced a case of an 18-year-old woman who ingested salt-fermented northern sand lance and developed corrosive gastritis. The patient underwent a esophagogastroscopy and had developed a deep ulceration in the antrum. This cases shows that salt-fermented northern sand lance, which is very acidic and includes various biogenic amines, has the possibility of inducing a corrosive injury to the stomach.

18세 여자가 과량의 까나리액젓을 마시고 심와부 통증 및 오심을 주소로 내원하여 시행한 위내시경에서 위의 전정부에 국한된 깊은 궤양을 보이는 부식성 위염의 소견을 보였다. 발효식품인 까나리액젓은 산성의 성질을 가지면서 다양한 생체아민을 포함하고 있는 데 품질의 규격화가 되어있지 않아 주의를 요한다. 생체아민의 작용과 산성부식제의 영향에 관한 증례로 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고한다.
