Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has become an accepted technique for providing long-term enteral feeding. We report two cases of extrusion of the PEG tube into a short fistulous tract that communicates with the stomach. Although this unusual complication led to difficulty with tube feedings, both patients were asymptomatic, and, in one case, it was possible to reposition another catheter in the stomach via the fistula.
