Imaging of pediatric gastrostomy tube malposition: Pearls and pitfalls

Figure 13  Esophageal malposition of the gastrojejunostomy tube. An 8-year-old female with vomiting and balloon visualized in mouth. Due to respiratory concerns, the balloon was deflated and tubing pulled back prior to imaging. A: Abdomen; B: Lateral radiograph of the chest. Anteroposterior radiograph of the abdomen and lateral radiograph of the chest show that the jejunal tubing is in the esophagus (arrows) and gastric tubing (arrowhead) is coiled in a distended stomach.
