Abstract
Enteral nutrition in intensive care has been a great advance in medicine, due to its benefit, cost-effectiveness and few complications. Bronchoaspiration, diarrhea, regurgitation or mechanical problems are the main adverse effects. Esophageal obstruction by bezoar is a very infrequent complication, and there are only a few cases described in the literature.
