Esophageal Atresia: Migration of the gastrostomy tube into the bronchus
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 2-day-old baby boy, 38 weeks gestation, weight 2000 g was brought due to hypersalivation and imperforate anus with gasless abdomen on plain X-ray. He underwent a gastrostomy tube insertion and colostomy. In contrast study of the stomach, on the 5th postoperative day, the dye spilled into the tracheo bronchial tree and the catheter was seen, entering the right main bronchus. The patient underwent right thoracotomy and the presence of fistula and catheter were confirmed. The fistula and distal esophagus were closed and fixed to the prevertebral fascia because of a long gap. He is under follow-up and recieving home care for a later delayed primary anastomosis.

متن کاملEsophageal Perforation Due to Nasogastric Tube Insertion: A Case Report
Introduction: A Nasogastric (NG) tube insertion is a common technique in all neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). In some cases, NG insertion in infants with friable esophageal tissues may lead to some adverse side-effects, although such problems are not commonly seen. Esophageal perforation is a rare but known complication associated with this procedure. Methods: An infant (first child), we...
متن کاملAn Improvisation in Fixation of Stamm Gastrostomy in Neonates
Long gap esophageal atresia with or without tracheo-esophageal fistula may require feeding gastrostomy as a part of staged reconstruction.[1] We have devised a technique to secure/anchor the feeding gastrostomy (Stamm gastrostomy) more easily and safely. Five neonates underwent feeding gastrostomy by this technique. Out of five patients, four patients had tracheo-esophageal fistula with long ga...
