Esophageal obstruction secondary to enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube in moderate traumatic brain injury: A case report and literature review
This case underscores a rare but clinically significant complication of NG tube feeding in patients with moderate TBI. Prompt recognition, endoscopic confirmation, and tailored chemical dissolution therapy are essential for resolution. Preventive strategies, such as early consideration of post-pyloric feeding and careful monitoring of tube function, are warranted in high-risk populations.
