KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

    • Imaging

      • Clinical Issues

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • Ingestion of disc-shaped battery, typically by young child
            • Battery contains: Manganese dioxide, zinc-air, silver-oxide, mercuric-oxide, or lithium
              • Recent ↑ in lithium use: ↑ damage (due to ↑ efficiency & voltage) → ↑ morbidity & mortality
          • Esophagus is particularly susceptible to injury by lodged battery with potentially catastrophic consequences
