AB  - A nasogastric feeding tube is commonly inserted to facilitate patient meeting nutritional needs after oral surgery. But sometimes incorrect position may cause a severe iatrogenic damage. The authors present a case of an aspiration pneumonia complication with the result of malposition of nasogastric tube while the patient was intubated postoperatively. He recovered 3 weeks later with antibody therapy.
