Duodenal perforation: a rare complication of neonatal nasojejunal tube feeding
Pediatrics
|March 1, 1975
Abstract:
Continuous nasojejunal drip is a common method of feeding low-birthweight neonates because it is relatively free of complications and provides nutritional requirements. We recently encountered a case of duodenal perforation caused by a feeding catheter. Recommendations are made that can prevent this complication in the future.
