Complications of Tube Gastrostomy

Case Report: Retrograde Jejunoduodenal Intussusception Caused by a Migrated Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube

“…It may occur as a complication of gastrostomy tube migration. There have been only a few case reports in the English literature on this subject (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Almost all of these cases were secondary to distal migration of a Foley-type catheter gastrostomy tube, which lacked an external fixation device or a bolster.…”

A Case of Retrograde Jejunoduodenal Intussusception Caused by a Feeding Gastrostomy Tube

“…Common complications include infections, stomal leaks, migration, and ulceration .2-1 Retrograde intussusception, defined as the telescoping or invagination of a distal segment of intestine (the intussusceptum) into the receiving proximal end (the intussuscipiens), has been reported as a complication of gastrostomy tubes in five cases in the English literature. 2,[8][9][10][11] We report here another case of retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception associated with a Foley catheter used as a gastrostomy feeding tube.…”

CT appearance of retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception: a rare complication of gastrostomy tubes.

“…A review of the world literature, including 1 03 cases of retrograde intussusceptions dating back to 1 682 (Fabricius) reported by Akehurst [1 ], revealed only four cases of retrograde jejunoduodenogastric intussusception. Diagnoses were made by upper gastrointestinal series, and a gastrostomy tube was implicated as the inciting factor in each case [2][3][4]. We report the fifth case of retrograde intussusception as a complication of a gastrostomy tube and describe the characteristic features of the first such case to be diagnosed by use of CT.…”
