Abstract
We present the first two cases in the literature of tabletop party confetti mimicking button batteries in two infants. Both patients presented to the Emergency Department with an incidentally noticed shiny, metallic appearing, disc-shaped foreign body impacted in the hard palate. Both objects were understandably misdiagnosed as button batteries. The first patient required foreign body retrieval by ENT under general anaesthesia, whilst the second underwent retrieval safely in the Emergency Department. Tabletop party confetti should be considered in patients presenting with a suspected button battery impaction of the hard palate, which will drastically change the approach to clinical management and potentially minimise harms.
