“…As batteries come in multiple forms, they can predispose patients to distinct types of damage. Sodium or potassium hydroxide batteries can cause damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa through chemical burn, while lithium batteries likely damage tissues by eliciting an electric current through them [15]. Risk of complications from button battery ingestion is importantly associated with the size of the battery being >20 mm in diameter, children under 4 years of age, and length of time (>2 hours) in the gastrointestinal system [16].…”

“…Button batteries have been reported to cause chemical and electrical damage to mucosal tissues [15]. Beyond physical damage from the battery, complications have arisen where the battery was found to cause an esophageal stricture with the foreign body lodged in the esophagus surrounded by a mucus membrane, and, moreover, they have even been reported to pass through the esophageal wall and remain lodged within the mucosa [12].…”

Foreign body ingestion is a common diagnosis that presents in emergency departments throughout the world. Distinct foreign bodies predispose to particular locations of impaction in the gastrointestinal tract, commonly meat boluses in the esophagus above a preexisting esophageal stricture or ring in adults and coins in children. Several other groups are at high risk of foreign body impaction, mentally handicapped individuals or those with psychiatric illness, abusers of drugs or alcohol, and the geriatric population. Patients with foreign body ingestion typically present with odynophagia, dysphagia, sensation of having an object stuck, chest pain, and nausea/vomiting. The majority of foreign bodies pass through the digestive system spontaneously without causing any harm, symptoms, or necessitating any further intervention. A well-documented clinical history and thorough physical exam is critical in making the diagnosis, if additional modalities are needed, a CT scan and diagnostic endoscopy are generally the preferred modalities. Various tools can be used to remove foreign bodies, and endoscopic treatment is safe and effective if performed by a skilled endoscopist.

“…[2][3][4] Batteries can also cause chemical and electrical damage to the mucosal tissues. 5,6 Other complications that may occur include obstruction, peritonitis, abscess, or perforation into adjacent organs. 7 To the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case of spondylodiscitis caused by toothpick ingestion in the literature.…”

Perforation of the intestine caused by an ingested foreign object remains a complex challenge in terms of clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment. A 55-year-old man presented with complaints of right-sided abdominal pain and functional impairment of the lower limbs. Physical examination revealed an afebrile status and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a duodenal perforation caused by a densely linear foreign body. Additionally, a collection in the psoas muscle and contiguous spondylodiscitis were identified. To address this condition, an endoscopic procedure was performed to extract the toothpick successfully, and a CT-guided fine-needle aspiration was conducted to collect the fluid. Spondylodiscitis was managed with antibiotic therapy and immobilization. Remarkably, significant clinical and radiological improvement was observed within a span of three weeks. This case emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care involving interventional treatments as a viable and safe alternative to surgical intervention.
