Ingestion of Cylindrical and Button Batteries: An Analysis of 2382 Cases

Abstract: During a 7-year period, 2382 cases of battery ingestion were reported to a national registry. Button cells were ingested by 2320 of these patients; 62 patients ingested cylindrical cells. These cases are analyzed to reassess current therapeutic recommendations, hypotheses about battery-induced injury, and strategies for prevention and intervention. Hearing aids were the most common intended use of ingested cells (952 cases, 44.6%); and in 312 (32.8%) of these cases, the battery actually was removed by a child … Show more

“…Reported incidence of battery ingestion (cylindrical and button) is nearly 10–15 cases per 1 million population with every 1 thousand episode resulting in serious repercussions 1 . The peak incidence of battery ingestion in children is within 6 months and 6 years 1,2 . Accidental occurrence in these age groups is usually due to playful nature.…”

“…Certain FBs like button batteries and small rare-earth magnets (SREMs) can cause injury to the gastrointestinal tract, including enteroenteric fistulas, bowel necrosis, perforation, and strictures (4,(6)(7)(8). External factors, like alterations in the manufacturing and availability of lithium button batteries and SREMs, have altered the epidemiology, morbidity, and mortality of FBIs (9).…”

“…Possible long-term sequalae include oesophageal obstruction, tissue damage and stricture. 6 The oesophagus has anatomically narrowed regions with increased likelihood of disc battery impaction, the most common being the area at the thoracic inlet. 7 If a disc battery is lodged in the oesophagus, it can cause initial tissue damage in only 15 min.…”
