title: [Removal of a displaced nasopharyngeal tube from the esophagus using an inflated catheter].
abstract: A safe and easily employed method of removal of a blunt foreign body from the oesophagus is described. The present case was a newly born infant with Pierre Robin's syndrome and congenital heart disease. A nasal tube had become displaced and the clinical condition did not permit endoscopic removal. By means of an inflatable balloon catheter introduced through the tube to the stomach, the foreign body could be removed without difficulty.
