ABSTRACT
This case provides support for electroconvulsive therapy as a safe treatment in adolescents with a feeding tube. The patient presented to our hospital with symptoms of catatonia with minimal oral intake. She had stopped eating, had minimal interaction with her environment, and spent weeks with a nasogastric tube for nutritional support. She had been referred for electroconvulsive therapy but was unable to find a local provider who would perform it on an adolescent with a nasogastric tube. She came to our hospital and received 9 rounds of electroconvulsive therapy with improvement of her catatonia and no aspiration or adverse events.
