Summary
Maintain suspicion for battery ingestion with any round, radiopaque foreign body. The "double ring" sign on X-ray suggests emergent surgical removal, though it
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Pediatric Surgery
- Emergency Medicine
Background:
- Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency.
- Button battery ingestion poses unique risks due to potential for chemical burns.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight key radiographic findings suggestive of battery ingestion.
- To emphasize the urgency of intervention for specific radiographic signs.
Main Methods:
- Review of radiographic findings in suspected foreign body ingestions.
- Correlation of imaging signs with clinical outcomes.
Main Results:
- Round, radiopaque foreign bodies warrant suspicion for battery ingestion.
- The "double ring" sign on plain film is a critical indicator.
Conclusions:
- Prompt recognition of radiographic signs is crucial for timely management.
- Emergent operative removal is indicated for batteries exhibiting the "double ring" sign, despite its limitations.
