Battery ingestion is not a common occurrence in adults. When it occurs in patients of any age, prompt action might be necessary, depending on the type of battery ingested, to prevent damage to the gastric mucosa that is involved in important secreting and absorbing functions required to maintain homeostasis. A 61-year-old Hispanic male presented to the emergency department with the chief concern of shortness of breath and abdominal pain. Incidentally, an X-ray demonstrated multiple round hyperdense foreign bodies in the ileum and cecum. Physical exam was positive for right-sided and periumbilical abdominal pain without any peritoneal signs. Upon colonoscopy, 14 hearing aid batteries of size 312 were discovered without evidence of perforation or obstruction. Ingestion of batteries in adults is a rare phenomenon. When an adult presents with ingestion of dangerous foreign bodies such as batteries, mental health is critical to consider in the history and treatment plan.
成人吞食电池并不常见。当任何年龄段的患者发生这种情况时，根据吞食电池的类型，可能需要迅速采取行动，以防止对胃黏膜造成损害，胃黏膜参与维持体内平衡所需的重要分泌和吸收功能。一名61岁的西班牙裔男性因呼吸急促和腹痛为主诉就诊于急诊科。偶然间，X线显示回肠和盲肠有多个圆形高密度异物。体格检查显示右侧和脐周腹痛阳性，无任何腹膜刺激征。结肠镜检查发现14枚312型号的助听器电池，没有穿孔或梗阻的迹象。成人吞食电池是一种罕见现象。当成人出现吞食电池等危险异物时，在病史和治疗计划中考虑心理健康至关重要。
