ABSTRACT

Los niños pueden ingerir cualquier objeto, impulsados por su curiosidad y afán de reconocer objetos y de modo accidental en un 80% ocurren en la infancia. Por fortuna en la mayor parte de casos se expulsa sin problemas con la materia fecal, requiriendo extracción endoscópica solo en 10-20% de ellos y cirugía en < del 1%. En realidad es imposible mencionar todos los cuerpos extraños que pueden ingerir los niños. Se describe dos casos de ingesta de pilas de litio, en los que se realizó la extracción respectiva por vía endoscópica evidenciándose lesiones clínicas en hipofaringe y esófago. Realizamos una mención de la ingesta de cuerpos extraños ingeridos en general, con énfasis en una actualización sobre la ingesta de pilas alcalinas.


Children can ingest anything driven by curiosity and eagerness to identify objects; eighty percent of accidents occur during infancy. Fortunately, in most cases, objects are eliminated without problems with faeces, requiring endoscopic extraction only in 10-20% of the cases, and surgery in less than 1%. It is virtually impossible to mention all the objects that children can eat. We describe two cases of ingestion of lithium batteries, where the respective extraction was performed by endoscopy and clinical lesions were found in the hypopharinx and oesophagus. We mention the ingestion of objects in general with emphasis on the actualization of ingestion of alkaline batteries.
