ABSTRACT
IMPLICATIONS Nasogastric tube placement can cause ulceration and bleeding from the nose, pharynx, esophagus, and stomach. Its accidental placement into the tracheopulmonary system may lead to pneumothorax, hemothorax, or even death. We report a case of its knotting over the epiglottis, leading to life-threatening respiratory distress.
