Abstract
We report an unusual complication of oral-gastric lavage in a drug overdose patient. During the lavage procedure, the oral-gastric tube became impacted in the esophagus. Forceful removal of the tube resulted in an esophageal tear. The patient did well with conservative management and was discharged with no long-term sequelae.Entities:
