Abstract

Ingestion of a button battery can result in serious complications if the battery becomes lodged in the esophagus. We report a case of a 14-month-old child who died from exsanguination caused by an aortoesophageal fistula caused by a 20-mm lithium button battery lodged in the esophagus. Recommendations concerning diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up are described.
