Abstract
ABSTRACT The nasogastric tube is an efficient way for giving enternal nutrition in patients who are not able to take oral feeds. It is a simple procedure that can be done by any caregiver with minimal training even in a remote area. Complications are rare, there are few reported cases of esophageal perforation, inadvertent tracheobronchial or intracranial intubation, pneumothorax, and bronchopleural fistula associated with the passing of this tube. Prolonged use of nasogastric tube causes continuous pressure over the soft triangle of the nose leading to pressure necrosis and stenosis of nasal vestibule. How to cite this article Kairo AK, Madan R, Singh CA, Singh S. Nasal Vestibular Stenosis as a Nasogastric Tube Related Complication. Clin Rhinol An Int J 2014;7(1):26-27.
