Abstract:
We present a case of neonatal esophageal perforation following routine oral gastric (OG) tube placement in the neonatal intensive care unit. This is a rare complication primarily affecting premature infants and can have significant morbidity and mortality. This case demonstrates the initial radiographic presentation of esophageal perforation and the subsequent imaging to confirm the diagnosis. Clinical management of this condition in the neonatal patient is also discussed. A unique highlight of this case is the difference in radiographic presentation on the initial study as compared to the later study.
摘要:
我们介绍了一例在新生儿重症监护病房常规口服胃(OG)管放置后发生新生儿食管穿孔的病例。这是主要影响早产儿的罕见并发症,并且可能具有显着的发病率和死亡率。此病例显示了食管穿孔的初始影像学表现以及随后的影像学检查以确认诊断。还讨论了新生儿患者这种情况的临床管理。这种情况的独特亮点是与后来的研究相比,最初研究的放射线照相表现有所不同。
