Disk battery ingestion: high clinic risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last ten years disk battery (DB) ingestion have been increasing in children with serious consequences due to the diffusion of lithium battery (LB) that may cause catastrophic damages when lodged in the esophagus. The severity of injury depends on cell type, size, voltage, location and time of contact with the mucosa because electrical generation of hydroxide ions at the negative pole, leakage of alkaline content in stomach and mechanical pressure. Because LB are larger (> 20 mm), flatter and have an higher voltage (3V) than alkaline DB (1.5 V) in small children their ingestion increases the risk of esophageal lodgment and tissue damage in just two hours [1,2].
