He had been bedridden long-term and had previously undergone a gastrectomy for gastric ulcer. Since admission was prolonged, and he required enteral feeding because of his inability to swallow, a NGT was inserted blindly. The next day, he had a high fever and abdominal pain. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed that the tube was inserted through the wall of the abdominal esophagus into the abdominal cavity. In the emergency surgery, we sutured the perforated site of abdominal esophagus and patched it with lesser omentum. The postoperative course was good.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Abdominal esophageal perforation due to NGT insertion is very rare. The cause of perforation was suggested to be an abnormal deformity created by adhesion due to previous distal gastrectomy and long-term bedridden status.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>A chest X-ray usually is performed to confirm the position of the NGT tube.
