AXR of gastrojejunostomy tube malfunction due to migration of the tip of the jejunostomy tube back into the stomach
AXR taken after injection through the jejunostomy port of a newly placed gastrojejunostomy tube one month ago (above) shows the tip of the jejunostomy tube to be in the proximal jejunum. AXR taken today (below) shows that the tip of the jejunostomy tube has been pulled back into the antrum of the stomach.

The diagnosis was gastrojejunostomy tube malfunction due to migration of the tip of the jejunostomy tube back into the stomach.
