ABSTRACT
Nasoenteric feeding tubes are a safe and effective means for providing nutritional support to the critically ill patient. Serious complications have been reported, but usually are the result of an improper path of the tube during placement. The authors report a case of ampullary obstruction and jaundice caused by a nasoenteric feeding tube, presumably caused by coiling of the tube in the duodenum. This report represents the first such case in the literature.
