Core Tip Foley catheters are sometimes used as feeding jejunostomy tubes in resource limited settings, but their use carries a risk of distal migration due to inadequate fixation. This case highlights a rare complication in which a Foley catheter migrated distally with the balloon impacted at the ileocecal valve. Successful colonoscopic retrieval avoided surgical intervention, emphasizing the importance of appropriate device selection, secure tube fixation, and the role of colonoscopy as a safe, minimally invasive management option for migrated enteral feeding tubes.
