RESUMO
Eosinophilic colitis is an uncommon condition and rarely presents as acute abdomen. We report a 65-year-old man who presented with acute abdomen-- severe pain in upper abdomen, with pyrexia, tachycardia, guarding and right-sided intercostal tenderness--secondary to eosinophilic colitis and was successfully managed. He had additional problems in form of cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, cholangitis, pyogenic liver abscesses and gout.

The use of a central venous catheter may occasionally be associated with complications like sepsis, effusions and thrombosis. Migration of the central catheter is an unusual complication that often goes unrecognized. This case report is of a neonate who developed hydrothorax resulting from a migrating central line and highlights the need for a high level of clinical suspicion in diagnosing catheter related problems.
