The incidence of cases with button cell ingestion in children has been increasing due to the wide usage of button-cells in electronic toys recently. In a case admitted with acute abdomen, Meckel’s diverticulum perforation was found due to foreign body in diverticulum. Since a button-cell was found in the diverticulum the case was presented to draw attention to this rarity.
Keywords: Meckel Diverticulum, Button cell, Gastrointestinal perforation, Foreign body ingestion.
