Abstract
Here we report a case of tracheoesophageal fistula in eighteen month old boy due to corrosive action of button- battery ingestion and delayed diagnosis. Late diagnosis was due to misinterpretation of foreign body as locket. The battery was removed by a rigid oesophagoscope and the patient was referred for surgical management.
