Abstract:
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a safe and widely used method of providing enteral nutrition in patients unable to tolerate per oral intake. Common complications include gastrointestinal bleeding, dislodgment, perforation, abdominal wall abscess, and aspiration. "Buried bumper syndrome" (BBS) is a rare but potentially fatal complication resulting in malfunction of the tube, gastric perforation, bleeding, and peritonitis. Gastroenterologists should be cognizant of the clinical presentation and treatment of a buried bumper. We report a case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with coffee-ground emesis and was managed with the placement of a gastro-jejunal tube.
