Jejenum delivery of enteral nutrition with percutaneous endoscopic gastrojejunostomy (PEG-J) is necessary for the patients who are complicated by gastroparesis, gastro- esophageal reflux, gastric resection, pancreatitis, severe aspiration risk, or gastric feeding intolerance (1). We present here a patient with esophagomediastinal fistula, whose nutritional support was maintained through a PEG-J tube which caused a rare complication. |
