          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: la administración de nutrición enteral por sonda nasogástrica puede presentar complicaciones potencialmente graves. Presentamos un caso de obstrucción esofágica por un bezoar de nutrición enteral. Caso clínico: el paciente de 77 años ingresó en nuestro centro en la unidad de cuidados intensivos por neumonía COVID. El paciente recibía nutrición enteral por sonda nasogástrica (SNG) presentando al mes del seguimiento dificultad para el paso de la misma. Tras retirada de la sonda y unida a ella se extrajo un molde esofágico de nutrición enteral. Posteriormente se administra a través de una nueva SNG una solución disolvente y se modifica la fórmula por una hidrolizada. Discusión: los bezoar de nutrición enteral son una complicación rara pero potencialmente mortal.

          Abstract Introduction: the administration of enteral nutrition through a nasogastric tube can cause potentially serious complications. We present a case of esophageal obstruction due to an enteral nutrition bezoar. Case report: the 77-year-old patient was admitted to our center in the intensive care unit for COVID pneumonia. The patient received enteral nutrition through a nasogastric tube (NGT), presenting difficulty passing it after a month of follow-up. After removal of the tube and attached to it, an esophageal mold for enteral nutrition was extracted. Later, a solvent solution is administered through a new SNG and the formula is modified for a hydrolyzed one. Discussion: enteral nutrition bezoars are a rare but can be a life-threatening complication.

            Esophageal obstruction due to enteral feed bezoar: A case report and literature review.

            This paper describes a rare complication of enteral feeding, esophageal obstruction due to feeding formula bezoar, and reviews the published cases. An attempt to re-insert the nasogastric tube in a chronically ventilated 80-year-old female fed via a nasogastric tube with Jevity(®) failed. An esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed an 18 cm-long concretion of the feeding formula, filling most of the esophageal lumen, which was removed endoscopically. Forty-two cases of feeding formula esophageal bezoars have been reported in the literature. The formation of feeding formula bezoars is triggered by acidic gastroesophageal reflux. The acidic pH in the esophagus causes clotting of the casein in the formula. Predisposing factors for bezoar formation are: mechanical ventilation, supine position, neurological diseases, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, obesity and history of partial gastrectomy. Diagnosis and removal of the bezoar is done endoscopically. Feeding in a semi-recumbent position, administration of prokinetic agents and proton pump inhibitors may prevent this complication.

              A safe treatment option for esophageal bezoars.

              Bezoar in the esophagus is a rare condition and associated with structural or functional abnormalities of the esophagus. Endoscopy is the main tool for diagnosis and treatment for bezoar in the esophagus. Here we present a case where an endoscopic evacuation of an esophageal bezoar was unsuccessful. We treated the bezoar through a nasogastric tube using a cocktail composed of pancreatic enzymes dissolved in Coca-Cola. Endoscopy is regarded as the mainstay for the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal bezoars. However, when this approach fails, other treatment options include dissolution therapy, and surgical exploration and removal of the bezoar. Surgical removal of an esophageal bezoar is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. We advocate that dissolving therapy should be the first choice of treatment when endoscopic evacuation is not possible. This is the first report describing a successful treatment of an esophageal bezoar with a cocktail of Coca-Cola and pancreatic enzymes. It is an effective, inexpensive, and worldwide available treatment and should be considered when endoscopic evacuation fails. Copyright © 2012 Surgical Associates Ltd. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
