Abstract :
Button batteries as foreign bodies in the nasal cavities of children had the potential to cause extensive damage. Sometimes their removals were relatively easy, but sometimes could be very challenging. In this case, a 3-year-old boy had a button battery inserted in his nasal cavity for 2 days. Several attempts had been done to remove the battery in outpatient department but failed due to poor visualization. Therefore, the removal was done under general anesthesia by the guidance of imaging system to make the removal easier and prevent more damage.
