A computer lithium battery cell was impacted in the cricopharynx of a 1 year and 9 month-old child. The battery cell was safely removed with the pediatric flexible oesophagoscope under anesthesia without trauma to the surrounding structures. The lithium battery cell is potentially dangerous due to its ability to cause chemical damage to the mucosa and cause early inflammation and edema leading to dysphagia and respiratory obstruction. Hence, it should be promptly extracted without delay to prevent catastrophe. The toddler recovered uneventfully in the immediate post-operative period and was followed-up for the last 1 year without any complication. To the horizon of our knowledge, no previous case was reported with computer battery cell in the cricopharynx of a toddler in Eastern India. In conclusion, parent education is important in the early detection of foreign bodies and their interventions.
一块电脑锂电池进入一名1岁9个月大儿童的环咽部位。在麻醉状态下，通过小儿软性食管镜安全取出该电池，周围结构未受创伤。锂电池具有潜在危险性，因其会对黏膜造成化学损伤，引发早期炎症和水肿，导致吞咽困难和呼吸阻塞。因此，应立即毫不拖延地取出，以防灾难发生。该幼儿术后即刻恢复顺利，在过去一年接受随访，未出现任何并发症。据我们所知，此前在印度东部，尚无幼儿环咽部位进入电脑电池的病例报道。总之，家长教育对于异物的早期发现及其干预至关重要。
