LOPEZ-VAZQUEZ, Macarena; LOPEZ-URDIALES, Rafael; PEREZ-MARAVER, Manuel  e  VIRGILI-CASAS, Núria. Nasogastric tube obstruction due to enteral feeding bezoar. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.6, pp.1298-1300.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04669.

Introduction:

the administration of enteral nutrition through a nasogastric tube can cause potentially serious complications. We present a case of esophageal obstruction due to an enteral nutrition bezoar.

Case report:

the 77-year-old patient was admitted to our center in the intensive care unit for COVID pneumonia. The patient received enteral nutrition through a nasogastric tube (NGT), presenting difficulty passing it after a month of follow-up. After removal of the tube and attached to it, an esophageal mold for enteral nutrition was extracted. Later, a solvent solution is administered through a new SNG and the formula is modified for a hydrolyzed one.

Discussion:

enteral nutrition bezoars are a rare but can be a life-threatening complication.
