Successful rescue after catastrophic bleeding of carotid artery pseudoaneurysm following button battery ingestion in a toddler
Key messageButton battery (BB) ingestion is an increasing hazard.Catastrophic gastrointestinal bleeding due to pseudo aneurysm rupture following BB impaction is often fatal.Here we report the case of an unwitnessed BB ingestion in an 18monthold boy who presented with repeated massive UGIB due to a left CCA pseudoaneurysm that was successfully managed multidisciplinarily.BB ingestion should be considered in toddlers presenting with he matemesis.
