Button Battery-Induced Necrotizing Keratoconjunctivitis: Case Report.

Abstract

We report a case of a 2-year-old girl who presented to the ocular emergency department with a button battery retained in the inferior fornix of the left eye for more than 48 hours. The child developed necrotizing keratoconjunctivitis, which was treated with antibiotics, amniotic membrane graft, prompt removal of button battery, and other supportive measures.
