Table 1 Classification systems for endoscopic and computed tomography grading of acute corrosive injuries

Modified Zargar endoscopic grading[1]

Grade I	Oedema and hyperaemia of mucosa
Grade IIA	Superficial localised ulcerations, friability and blisters
Grade IIB	Circumferential and deep ulcerations
Grade IIIA	Multiple and deep ulcerations and small, scattered areas of necrosis
Grade IIIB	Extensive necrosis
Grade IV	Perforation
CT grading[2]
Grade 1	Normal appearance
Grade 2	Wall and soft tissue oedema, increased wall enhancement
