Abstract	Foreign body ingestion is a common presentation to Otorhinolaryngology Department (ORL) especially among pediatrics population. Foreign body can be food or non-food related substances. Button battery ingestion is a life-threatening emergency which can cause injuries such as oesophageal strictures, perforations, tracheoesophageal fistulas, mediastinitis and aortoesophageal fistulas. The extent of damage increases with the duration the button battery remains lodged, underscoring the importance of promptly identifying ingestion.
