抄録

A 35 year old housewife suffering from abdominal distension began to develop chronic intestinal obstruction on July 1957. Because of nausea and vomiting with left lower abdominal pain patient was admitted to the Department of Surgery. A Millier-Abbot tube was inserted and high pressure enema given. A roentgenogram taken 4 days later indicated that the tube was in the stomach. An attempt made to remove the tube was unsuccessfull and a request was placed to authors for removal. Upon esophagoscopy a coil of the tube was found at a level of 27cm from upper alveolar process. The proximal end of the tube was grasped and was removed.
