Enteral feeding tubes have been associated with perforations of the gastrointestinal tract, usually requiring surgical repair. A neonate with centronuclear myopathy developed an enterocutaneous fistula from the duodenum following prolonged placement of a transpyloric catheter. He did not require surgery and died later of unrelated complications.
