Abstract
A case of button cell lodged in oesophagus is reported. The button cells are potentially destructive foreign bodies due to damage caused by leakage of harmful chemicals and their capability to generate electric current. The mucosal damage starts early and may lead to life threatening complications in long standing cases. Removal of these should be accorded highest priority to prevent complications.Entities:
