ABSTRACT
Insertion of nasogastric tube is one of the commonest clinical procedures. However, very rarely, the tube can coil on itself to form something called a Lariat loop. This is a knot that can cause the tube to get stuck inside the pharynx and can precipitate emergencies like laryngeal obstruction or esophageal rupture. A brief discussion of a case along with the causes and prevention of this complication has been done.
