description Buried bumper syndrome (BBS) is a rare but severe complication of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube feeding. Patients with BBS lose PEG tube patency and may experience peristomal pain, content leaks, or peritonitis. An early diagnosis can avert further complications. BBS is a clinical diagnosis, but an abdominal computerized tomography scan or upper endoscopy is needed to confirm the diagnosis. BBS is a long-term complication of PEG tube feeding, and cases of acute onset are scant in the literature. We report a unique case of a 65-year-old female with a history of stroke who developed BBS five weeks after PEG tube placement.
