ABSTRACT
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.
