Button alkaline batteries are dangerous because they cause rapid tissue destruction on contact with moist tissue. We report a case of a button alkaline battery in the nasal cavity. The patient was a three years old boy, who put a button alkaline battery into his nostril. One month later, septal perforation was observed. Such foreign bodies must be promptly identified and removed.
