Toddler with problems feeding through the jejunostomy port of their gastrojejunostomy tube

Gastrointestinal
Fluoroscopic study of jejunostomy tube tip migration into stomach
AXR (above) shows the tip of the jejunostomy tube projects over the body of the stomach. AP (below left) and lateral (below right) images obtained after injecting water soluble contrast through the jejunostomy port of the gastrojejunostomy tube shows contrast outlining the rugae of the stomach. There is no contrast in the duodenum or jejunum.

The diagnosis was gastrojejunostomy tube malfunction with the tip of the jejunostomy tube having been pulled back into the stomach.
