A case is described in which a patient with a gastrostomy tube (PEG) was admitted to hospital with chronic and severe diarrhoea and signs of cachexia. The gastrostomy tube had been inserted by percutaneous endoscopic procedure two months before, and the patient had been suffering from diarrhoea ever since. X-ray investigation by contrast documented that the PEG ended inside the colon, at the left colic flexure. The case emphasizes the need to control the position of a PEG, should unexpected gastrointestinal symptoms occur.
本文描述了一例胃造瘘管(PEG)患者因慢性严重腹泻和恶病质体征入院的病例。胃造瘘管是两个月前通过经皮内镜手术插入的,自那以后患者一直腹泻。造影X线检查证实PEG末端位于结肠左结肠曲处。该病例强调,若出现意外的胃肠道症状,有必要控制PEG的位置。
