AXR of peripherally inserted central catheter / PICC in the renal vein in a patient with gastroschisis
AXR AP and lateral shows a right lower extremity PICC coursing across the midline with its tip projecting over the left renal vein. The abdomen appears to be bulging and protruberant in both medial-lateral and anterior-posterior dimensions. The tip of the bladder catheter projects high within the pelvis within a dilated bladder

The diagnosis was low malposition of the PICC in a patient with Prune Belly Syndrome.
