Figure 2. Endoscopic Views of extracted button battery and esophageal mucosal damage. Left: The button battery as visualized during endoscopic removal, showcasing its corroded and disintegrated condition due to prolonged esophageal impaction. Middle: The endoscopic view after removal reveals Grade 3 mucosal damage, characterized by deep ulceration and tissue necrosis. Bottom: The image of removed BB reveals the corrosive effects of prolonged contact with the acidic environment of the esophagus. Notable changes include discoloration, surface erosion, and the breakdown of the battery’s integrity, leading to potential leakage of hazardous materials.
