[Hydropneumothorax secondary to enteral feeding tube].
The placement of naso-gastric tubes is a routing procedure in Intensive Care Units. Their basic indications are the aspiration of gastric contents, as well as the enteral nutrition of the patients. Despite this being a simple technique, it is not exempt of complications, some of which are very serious, which should be kept in mind in order to prevent them and to diagnose them early. We describe a case of hydro-pneumothorax, secondary to the placement of a naso-gastric tube for enteral nutrition.
