Mucosal bridge formation in the esophagus caused by injury from a nasoenteric feeding tube.

We report the first case of an esophageal mucosal bridge that was caused by a nasoenteric feeding tube or its placement. The mucosal bridge was diagnosed by esophagoscopy and was nearly resolved 3 weeks later after removal of the feeding tube and treatment with histamine antagonists. Although uncommon, esophageal injury may occur in relation to the use of small-bore nasoenteric feeding tubes and great care should be taken during tube placement and use.[1]
