Endoscopic treatment of an esophageal perforation in eosinophilic esophagitis by insertion of a self-expanding metal stent.

We present the case of a 29-year-old patient with multiple allergies, mild asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis who reported a history of esophageal impactions after ingestion of solid foods. These episodes resolved spontaneously at home and by self-induced vomiting and never required endoscopic removal. The patient presented to the emergency department due to a sensation of food impaction lasting more than 12 hours after eating meat the night before, which did not subside with the intake of liquids or self-induced vomiting.

A rare complication of jejunal extension of a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube for levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel administration.

Direct intestinal administration of levodopa-carbidopa gel has shown good results in selected patients with Parkinson's disease (1, 2). We want to present a complication related to the device necessary for the administration of this drug. A 58-year-old man, diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, treated for six months with levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel, administered through a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube with jejunal extension, presented at the emergency department for abdominal pain.
