Abstract EN
Percutaneous enteral feeding tubes are placed about 250,000 times each year in the United States.
Although they are relatively safe, their placement may be complicated by perforation, infection, bleeding, vomiting, dislodgment, and obstruction.
There have been numerous reports of antegrade migration of gastrojejunostomy (G-J) tubes.
We report a case of G-J tube regurgitation following protracted vomiting and discuss the management of this very rare entity.
