Abstract

Alkaline batteries found in eosophagus as foreign bodies are dangerous because they may have a corrosive action due to release of concentrated potassium hydroxide and can produce perforation and mediastinitis. Batteries found in the eosophagus should be removed endoscopically as quickly as possible. We reported a case of accidental battery ingestion by a three-year old boy and reviewed the literatures, discussed the special aspects of this foreign body. Due to the common use of these batteries, physicians and the general public should be more aware of these types of foreign bodies and the peculiarities in their management.

Özet

Özefagus yabancı cismi olarak görülen alkalin piller konsantre potasyum hidroksitin salınımı nedeniyle koroziv etkide bulunarak tehlikeli olurlar. Bu tip cisimler özefagus perforasyonu ve mediastinite yol açabilirler. Özefagusta bulunan pillerin mümkün olduğu kadar çabuk endoskopik olarak çıkarılmaları gerekir. Üç yaşındaki çocukta gördüğümüz alkalin pil alınımı ve bu tip yabancı cisimle ilgili literatürde verilen bilgileri sunuyoruz. Bu tip pillerin yaygın kullanımı nedeniyle doktorların ve toplumun zararlı etkileri ve tedavi özellikleri hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olması gerekir.
