Abstract
Esophageal malposition is a potentially disastrous complication of attempted airway intubation. We report an unusual case in which a promptly recognized esophageal intubation aided detection of a perforated gastric ulcer. After the endotracheal tube was repositioned and the ulcer was surgically repaired, our patient had an excellent outcome.
