Abstract

National audience ; Jejunal nutrition has developed nowadays, especially for patients with swallowing disorders, severe gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or previous history of aspiration pneumonia, and obstruction of the upper GI tract. Access to the jejunum is no longer restricted to surgery thanks to the development of tube feeding insertions radiological and endoscopic techniques. This clinical case of a stroke patient underlines the clinical indications of these recent radiology or endoscopy-guided jejunostomies and gastrojejunostomies. They are suitable for home nutrition support as they could avoid surgical laparotomy or laparoscopy or even, parenteral nutrition. © 2016 Association pour le développement de la recherche en nutrition (ADREN)
