摘　　　要

BACKGROUND: Button batteries are very common. Unintentional placement of such a battery into the nasal cavity may cause irreversible problems if the battery is not immediately removed. This study discusses the clinical presentation and management of these foreign bodies and raises awareness regarding this hazard.
METHODS: We retrospectively collected nine cases of button batteries as nasal foreign bodies from January 2010 to October 2019 in our department. The charts, laboratory examination results, and images were analyzed for each case.
RESULTS: The average follow-up period was 4 weeks. The mean age was 3.29 years (range: 23-52 months). Most of the children (77.8%) had placed the button battery into the left nasal cavity. Four patients (44.4%) developed septal perforation. No other major complications were noted.
CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis with prompt management is important for preventing lifelong sequela. For children presenting with brownish rusty-like nasal discharge or epistaxis, physicians should consider a nasal foreign body, especially a button battery.
