Nasogastric tube (NGT) syndrome is a rarely reported complication of NGT use that can cause life-threatening laryngeal obstruction. The syndrome results from post-cricoid ulceration, which affects the posterior cricoarytenoid muscles, thus causing vocal cord abduction paralysis and upper airway obstruction. We describe a case of a 72-year-old patient with this syndrome who was treated successfully and emphasise the difficulty of diagnosis in frail older adults.
鼻胃管（NGT）综合征是一种使用鼻胃管后很少报道的并发症，可导致危及生命的喉梗阻。该综合征由环状软骨后溃疡引起，环状软骨后溃疡会影响环杓后肌，从而导致声带外展麻痹和上呼吸道梗阻。我们描述了一例成功治疗的72岁该综合征患者，并强调了体弱老年人诊断的困难。
