    AbstractAfter transnasal placement of a tracheal and a gastric tube, the latter did not function properly. Several attempts to remove the gastric tube were unsuccessful, but this could not be explained on several laryngoscopic inspections. The palpating finger finally found a knot of tracheal and stomach tubes high in the epipharynx. This incident underlines the importance of faultless functioning of tracheal and stomach tubes, especially in patients with intended intermaxillary fixation.
