A SUICIDE ATTEMPT BY INGESTION OF CYLINDRICAL BATTERIES

Abstract

Ingestion of foreign bodies like batteries is a common health issue during childhood. Foreign body ingestions may also be encountered in adults. We aimed to present an 83-year-old female patient who attempted to commit suicide by ingesting batteries. She was admitted to our emergency department after ingestion of 3 AAA type batteries of a TV remote control for suicidal purpose. She had no history of a psychiatric illness. Her x-rays were taken, the former showing 3 AAA type batteries in stomach. The patient was applied urgent endoscopy. Three slim batteries were visualized in the gastric corpus. The batteries were removed with the help of a snare with overtube. It should be remembered that adult patients may also present to an emergency department after ingesting foreign materials like batteries. These patients should be thoroughly questioned and assessed with regard to underlying neuropsychiatric disorders as well as alcohol and drug abuse.
