Abstract
We report three cases of pneumothorax secondary to inadvertent nasopulmonary intubation with feeding tubes. In all three cases, pneumothorax was not present on the initial radiograph that demonstrated the misplaced tube but developed only after removal of the feeding tube. We therefore recommend that clinicians and radiologists maintain a high index of suspicion for delayed pneumothorax after removal of misplaced feeding tubes.
