“…Unusually thin cribiform plate (i.e., secondary to sinusitis) also increases risk (45). Intracranial NET insertion can be devastating, causing symptoms corresponding to the area(s) injured by the tube, and reported mortality > 60% (43). After confirming misplacement with plain radiography, emergent CT imaging and antibiotic coverage should follow.…”

“…The same authors describe intracranial misplacement of NGT, a complication that can occur in patients with severe head trauma [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The intracranial placement in these cases is very often favored in patients with basal skull fractures.…”

“…El riesgo de realizar una inserción intracraneal lleva a un mal pronóstico en el contexto de un traumatismo craneofacial. Por lo tanto, en pacientes con fracturas de tercio medio facial (región maxilar, nasal, malar y orbitaria), no se deberán instalar sondas nasogástricas ni nasoenterales, y en caso de compromiso de la vía aérea, está contraindicado el acceso nasotraqueal, debiendo realizarse preferentemente intubación por vía orotraqueal o quirúrgico percutáneo de urgencia (Figura 3) 17,18 . En casos de una vía aérea difícil con obstrucción de la vía aérea alta, el manejo quirúrgico de urgencia de la vía aérea no debe retrasarse, siendo indicado la realización de una cricotiroidotomía de urgencia 15 .…”
