“…Though more NGTS cases attributing to NGT have been reported, only two reports have shown NGTS induced by nasointestinal ileus tube except our case, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The proposed mechanisms is tissue injury caused by continuous pressure on the region of physiologic narrowing between hypopharynx and cervical esophagus. [2,9,10] Another possible mechanism would be a relationship between NGTS and gastroesophageal re ux due to supine position of the patient.…”

BackgroundNasogastric tube syndrome induced by nasointestinal ileus tube is uncommon complication and potentially life-threatening complication. The early detection and proper treatment for NGTS is necessary.Case presentaionWe describe a case of a 78-year-old patient with this syndrome induced by nasointestinal ileus tube. The symptom of this syndrome was improved by immediate proper management. Immediate removal of tube and early recognition of symptom are the first step in treatment for this syndrome, in addition to initiation of steroids, proton pomp inhibitor and antibiotic therapy. The cause of NGTS is supposed to be a continuous pressure on hypopharynx and cervical esophagus.ConclusionsNasogastric tube syndrome should be considered in patients not only with nasogastric tube but also nasointestinal ileus tube. Early diagnosis and proper management for NGTS are important

Nasogastric tube syndrome (NGTS) induced by a nasointestinal ileus tube is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication. NGTS often becomes serious and progresses to acute upper airway obstruction caused by bilateral vocal cord paralysis or laryngeal infection. Early detection and proper treatment of NGTS are necessary. We describe the case of a 78-year-old patient with this syndrome induced by a nasointestinal ileus tube. At administration, ileus was suspected based on physical examination and thoracoabdominal X-ray findings. A nasointestinal ileus tube was placed through the left nasal cavity. Three days after tube placement, hoarseness and wheezing were found during nutrition support team rounds. Upper airway obstruction was suspected and evaluated immediately with flexible laryngoscopy by an otolaryngologist. The nasointestinal ileus tube was removed. The symptoms decreased with prompt proper management. Immediate removal of the tube and early recognition of symptoms are the first steps in the treatment for this syndrome, in addition to the initiation of steroid, proton pump inhibitor, and antibiotic therapy. The cause of NGTS is thought to be continuous pressure on the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus. NGTS should be considered in patients with either nasogastric or nasointestinal ileus tubes. Early diagnosis and proper management of NGTS are important.

“…Brousseau and Kost (2006) reported that 71% of the NTS cases were men, and 29% of them women. Vielva del Campo et al (2010) reported that this syndrome may develop both in children and adults. Brousseau and Kost (2006) also estimate the range of NTS onset from 12 th hour of intubation to 2 weeks after extubation.…”

Nasogastric tube syndrome (NTS) is characterized by acute upper airway obstruction due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Although NTS is a rare cause of vocal cord paralysis, it has the potential of causing serious morbidities even mortality. We here with present a case of concurrent NTS and cerebrovascular disease patient. 73year-old male was admitted to our university hospital emergency department with acute respiratory distress and stridor days after his cholecystectomy operation and laryngoscopy showed bilateral vocal cord paralysis. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and urgent tracheotomy was performed. On the day after his discharge from the hospital, his vocal cord movements fully recovered state. Nasogastric tube syndrome can be considered in patient who complains because of acute upper airway obstruction with nasogastric tube inserted. Thinking NTS early may be reducing the complication rate.
