ABSTRACT

Gastrostomy tubes are often placed in patients with poor voluntary intake, oropharyngeal dysphagia, or chronic illness to provide definitive nutritional access. Despite the widespread use of gastrostomy tubes, some patients can experience complications associated with this procedure including gastrocolic-cutaneous fistula and dislodgement of gastrostomy tube. This case discusses an instance of gastrojejunal fistula formation over one year after gastrostomy tube placement likely due to tube dislodgement. Imaging showed gastrostomy tube traversing the posterior wall of the stomach and creating a fistula into the jejunum, with the balloon inflated within the jejunum. Gastrostomy tube was removed and replaced, with gastrostomy tube study showing no extravasation of contrast. Patient is now doing well-tolerating tube feeds at goal.
