title: Late presentation of gastric tube ulcer perforation after oesophageal atresia repair.
abstract: Ulcer formation in intrathoracic grafts after oesophageal replacement is considered an infrequent complication of the procedure. We present a rare case of a gastric tube ulcer with perforation, more than 30 years after gastric tube interposition for oesophageal atresia.
