Abstract

Foreign body ingestion in neonatal period is rare, whereas it is common in paediatric age group. We report a rare case of foreign body (button battery) oesophagus in a 22 day old female neonate causing obstructive symptoms after a homicidal attempt. The unusual age of presentation, history and circumstances involved in this case prompted us to report this case.
