Background
Nasogastric 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 presentaion
We 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.
Conclusions
Nasogastric 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
