ABSTRACT
Jejunostomy is an alternative method for feeding patients who cannot be fed orally. However, there may be an associated morbidity and potential mortality. In the case presented, overdistension of a jejunostomy catheter balloon led to intestinal obstruction and pressure necrosis (of the small bowel), with subsequent abscess formation leading to death from septicemia.
