Over 70,000 emergency department visits in the US between 2010-2019 were related to battery ingestion, exposure, and insertion among children under 18, with button batteries accounting for nearly 85% of the injuries, often leading to serious complications and delayed treatment, particularly in lower socioeconomic families; to prevent misdiagnosis, a high index of suspicion should be maintained, accurate history taken, thorough diagnostic workup performed, and prior records reviewed, with prevention being key through community education and raising awareness of the National Battery Ingestion Hotline.
