Enteral feeding by a jejunostomy tube is a reliable and cost-effective method for both long- and short-term nutritional support in selected patients, although a high complication rate has been reported in some series. The authors report on jejunal perforation in an infant, caused by a kinked jejunostomy tube, and emphasize this possible pitfall as a warning to others.
