Acute obstructive pancreatitis secondary to migration of a gastrostomy
tube into duodenum
Abstract
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is a common procedure.
This discusses the rare complication of acute pancreatitis, due to tube
migration, causing obstruction of the ampulla of Vater. Radiological
confirmation of tubes prior to usage may aid in preventing this
reversible complication.
