Abstract
Enteral feedings through gastroenteric (GE) tubes are commonly utilised in patients with feeding diffi culties and intolerance to gastric feeding. A variety of complications related to GE tubes have been described which rarely include small bowel intussusception. The case of a 23-year-old man with proximal small bowel intussusception related to an endoscopically placed low profile GE tube is described. The patient presented with abdominal pain and bilious vomiting. Symptoms resolved with tube shortening. This report includes a short review aimed at raising awareness about this complication with a discussion on diagnosis and management.
