Abstract
The use of Button Battery (BB) has increased rapidly now-a-days. Children are prone to inadvertent ingestion, aspiration or insertion of BBs while playing with toys. It poses a serious health hazard as it is corrosive. Hence, early diagnosis and quick treatment are essential to prevent its fatal complications. A thorough evaluation of each case is necessary based on a detailed history taking, physical examination, blood and radiological investigation, and diagnostic endoscopy. General anaesthesia is usually preferred during endoscopic examination and removal of BB foreign bodies. The complications depend on the duration and site of impaction. This is a case series of three children with different presentations of BB foreign bodies and author’s experience in the diagnosis and management.
