Button battery ingestion in children can cause severe esophageal burns if lodged. Prompt medical awareness and removal are crucial to prevent serious complications from these pediatric foreign bodies.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Emergency Medicine
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Button batteries are common pediatric foreign bodies.
  • Esophageal impaction poses a significant risk of severe injury.
  • Early recognition and intervention are critical.

Observation:

  • A 3-year-old girl presented with severe mid-esophageal burns.
  • The injury was caused by a lodged button battery.
  • The battery remained impacted in the esophagus.

Findings:

  • Button battery ingestion led to significant esophageal caustic injury.
  • Delayed diagnosis or management can result in severe mucosal damage.
  • The case highlights the potential for rapid tissue destruction.
