Alkaline batteries as foreign bodies in the nasal cavities are dangerous because they can cause liquefaction necrosis with subsequent severe local tissue destruction. Batteries found in the nasal cavities should be removed immediately to prevent sequelae such as septal perforations or nasal meatus stenosis. Due to the common use of these batteries (e.g. watches, electronic toys and games, calculators) physicians and the general public should be more aware of this type of foreign body and the peculiarities in their management. We present five cases of button battery foreign bodies in the nasal cavities and review 12 cases described in the literature and discuss the special aspects of these foreign bodies.
碱性电池作为鼻腔异物很危险，因为它们会导致液化性坏死，继而造成严重的局部组织破坏。发现鼻腔内有电池应立即取出，以防止出现鼻中隔穿孔或鼻道狭窄等后遗症。鉴于这些电池的广泛使用（如手表、电子玩具和游戏、计算器），医生和公众应更加了解这类异物及其处理的特殊性。我们报告了5例鼻腔纽扣电池异物病例，并回顾了文献中描述的12例病例，同时讨论了这些异物的特殊情况。
