Abstract:
We present the first two cases in the literature of tabletop party confetti mimicking button batteries in two infants. Both patients presented to the Emergency Department with an incidentally noticed shiny, metallic appearing, disc-shaped foreign body impacted in the hard palate. Both objects were understandably misdiagnosed as button batteries. The first patient required foreign body retrieval by ENT under general anaesthesia, whilst the second underwent retrieval safely in the Emergency Department. Tabletop party confetti should be considered in patients presenting with a suspected button battery impaction of the hard palate, which will drastically change the approach to clinical management and potentially minimise harms.
摘要:
我们介绍了两个婴儿的桌面派对五彩纸屑模仿纽扣电池的文献中的前两个案例。两名患者都被送往急诊科,偶然发现有光泽,出现金属,盘状异物撞击硬腭。这两个物体都被误诊为纽扣电池,这是可以理解的。首例患者在全身麻醉下需要ENT取出异物,而第二个在急诊室安全地进行了取回。对于怀疑有硬腭纽扣电池撞击的患者,应考虑使用桌面派对五彩纸屑,这将极大地改变临床管理方法,并可能将危害降至最低。
