“…Moreover, they suggested that a conservative approach should last at least 8 weeks prior to opting for surgical repair. However, a prolonged watchful waiting strategy in these patients may increase the risk for reflux aspiration and respiratory distress [ 10 ]. The choice of the proper surgical technique can also be challenging and is influenced by several factors including the location, the size, and contour of the TEF, and the presence of esophageal, bronchopulmonary, or systemic disease.…”

Diagnosis and Management of Button Battery Ingestion Complicated by Tracheo-Esophageal and Aorto-Esophageal Fistulas

et al. 2022

Button battery ingestion (BBI) is common in children and its prevalence has increased in the last decades. BBI can be responsible for very severe and potentially fatal complications if not promptly detected. We describe the successful management of two cases of BBI that occurred in two previously healthy infants. Both patients presented with vague symptoms and no witness of foreign body ingestion. The prolonged time of exposure to the corrosive effects of disk batteries was responsible for the development of tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) and aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF). We demonstrate how prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for the infants’ survival.
