Nasogastric tube syndrome (NGTS) is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with nasogastric tube (NGT) placement. The effect of the NGT size and type on the development of NGTS has not yet been fully elucidated. We herein report the case of a 77-year-old man with cerebral infarction who was complicated with NGTS. The immediate removal of the NGT improved the symptoms of NGTS. Although the NGT was passed through the same route during reinsertion, the use of a softer and smaller-sized NGT did not cause any NGTS recurrence. To prevent the development of NGTS, using a NGT that is appropriate for the patient's condition is important.
鼻胃管综合征（NGTS）是一种罕见但危及生命的并发症，与鼻胃管（NGT）放置有关。NGT 大小和类型对 NGTS 发展的影响尚未完全阐明。本文报告了一例 77 岁脑梗死患者并发 NGTS 的病例。立即拔除 NGT 可改善 NGTS 症状。尽管在重新插入时 NGT 通过了相同的路径，但使用更柔软和更小尺寸的 NGT 并未引起任何 NGTS 复发。为了预防 NGTS 的发生，使用适合患者病情的 NGT 很重要。
