Abstract:
Button batteries (BBs) are found in many common household items and when ingested or placed in the nasal cavity or ear canal can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Initial diagnosis can be challenging as presenting symptoms are often delayed, nonspecific, and can mimic symptoms of common viral illnesses. Prompt diagnosis and removal are essential to best outcomes. Mitigating strategies can help minimize tissue damage and the development of delayed complications. Continued hazard awareness and ultimately the innovation of a safe BB are essential to help prevent these injuries.
