We report a case of disk battery ingestion in a 2 year old girl, with impaction in the upper cervical esophagus, extracted in otolaryngology service but complicated afterwards with tracheo-oesophageal fi stula and aspiration pneumonia and by long-term effect with high esophageal stenosis that required endoscopic dilatation.
