Premature newborn after umbilical venous catheter placement

CXR of umbilical venous catheter perforation causing TPNoma in liver and TPN ascites
AXR AP (above left) after line placement shows the tip of the umbilical venous catheter to be inferior to the cavo-atrial junction. The bowel gas pattern is normal. There is a moderate right pleural effusion. AXR AP obtained 1 day later (above right) shows developing mild centralization of the bowel loops and increase in the size of the right pleural effusion. The tip of the umbilical venous catheter now projects over the umbilical vein. AXR AP obtained 1 day later (below left) shows marked centralization of bowel loops. Sagittal US of the right side of the abdomen (below right) shows a large right pleural effusion (left side of image), a large amount of ascites (right side of image anteriorly) and a cystic lesion within the liver (right side of image posteriorly).

The diagnosis was umbilical venous catheter malfunction due to perforation of the umbilical venous catheter out of the umbilical vein resulting in a TPNoma in the liver and TPN ascites.
