Small Bowel Intussusception due to Nasojejunal Tube Placement in Neonates: A Case Report
Sonography should be performed to screen for small bowel intussusception in patients presenting with bilious vomiting during nasojejunal tube placement. The prompt removal of the tube following a diagnosis of small bowel intussusception (SBI) is essential to prevent adverse events, such as adhesions between the intussuscepted bowel loops. If intussusception does not resolve shortly after tube removal, surgical intervention is indicated.
