ABSTRACT

A button battery inserted in the nose of children is unusual foreign body which is capable of causing liquefaction necrosis with subsequent severe local destruction. The maximal site of damage corresponded with the negative pole of battery in every case. All button batteries as foreign body in the nasal cavities should be removed immediately to prevent severe local tissue damage, resulting in late sequelaes, such as septal perforation, nasal meatal stenosis or synechiae. Moreover, batton battery is used commonly in our life, physician and general public should be more aware of this type of foreign body and peculiarities in its management. We report cases of button battery in the nose of 4-year-old boy leading to nasal septal perforation and in the nose of 6-year-old boy leading to healing without complications..
