Small bowel fistula: a complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy insertion.

P M Evans1, J W Serpell.   

Abstract

A 22 year old man who sustained a severe closed head injury after a high speed motor car accident underwent routine placement of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) for feeding purposes. Nine days after its insertion an enterocutaneous fistula was diagnosed around the PEG tube. A loop of mid-jejunum had been transfixed during the insertion of the PEG.
