Abstract

Since being introduced by Gauderer et al. in 1980, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) has proved to be a safe and effective procedure that has become a popular way to establish long term enteral feeding in situations where oral intake is not possible. Indications of PEG are broad, with a few exceptions such as total obstruction of pharynx or esophagus and poor transillumination conditions. In those cases, percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) or surgical gastrostomy is feasible. We reported a case of percutaneous radiologic gastrostomy (PRG) in locked-in syndrome patient.
