In unwitnessed ingestions, patients usually present when complications have already occurred, which can take a couple of hours to days (and even weeks). Perforations are usually diagnosed within 2 days (rarely in the first 12 hours) but fistulas can present up to 4 weeks postremoval. According to the NASPGHAN guideline, removal is, therefore, advised if a BB is still in the stomach after 2 to 4 days (30).

Finally, in otherwise healthy children (especially toddlers) with acute onset of hematemesis, a high index of suspicion for battery ingestion should be maintained and diagnostics should be performed to expose the battery. Conflict of Interest The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose. With this perspective, a new bitter coating has been developed by the industry, but of course we do not know yet whether this will truly decrease ingestions (41). Parents calling the emergency room may be, however, advised to directly start giving honey if the history is strongly suggestive of BB ingestion and no signs of perforation are present.

As a result, clinical guidelines regarding management of these ingestions in children remain varied and sporadic, with little in the way of prospective data to guide their development. In delayed diagnosis of an esophageal impaction (first confirmation of the BB on X-ray >12 hours after ingestion or time point of removal >12 hours after ingestion) regardless of symptoms (serial) CT/MRI scans of the chest and neck should also be considered as the BB may have been lodged in the esophagus previously.
