توضیح
According to several reports, lithium battery ingestion, especially in children, causes several complications. The annual incidence rate is estimated at 10.5 per million, with a mortality rate of about 0.5%. Lithium battery ingestion mainly damages the esophageal mucosa. Injuries include pressure necrosis, electrochemical tissue burns, caustic exposure, or toxicity of heavy metals. Reported complications include severe esophageal ulcer, trachea-esophageal fistula or aorto-esophageal fistula, vocal fold pathology, and pneumonia.[1-3].
