Abstract
- Hydrothorax is a known complication of central venaus catheterization. We observed mediastinal hydrothorax following intrapleural effusion secondary to central venous catheter malposition in a 3 month child who was treated with respiratory support and chest drainage sucessfully. The position of central venous catheter should be evaluated routinely by chest X-ray or aspiration of blood through the central venous catheter to avoid complication.
