Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Gastric intubation, by oral or nasal route is an essential procedure in the management of premature infants, for gastric aspiration and for feeding. Oesophageal perforation is a rare but important complication of this commonly performed procedure. An illustrative case is presented. Difficulty passing a tube into the stomach is the first clue to the diagnosis. Understanding the evolution of clinical signs and recognizing the radiological changes facilitates an early diagnosis, thereby enabling successful non-operative management. |
