  ABSTRACT: Although nasogastric tube (NGT) is a simple procedure, the blind placement of nasogastric feeding tubes is not without risks. Chest radiogram is done to confirm the correct position of the NGT. We report a case where radiography could not be confirmatory for the correct position of the tube in a specific group of patients.
