ABSTRACT
Central venous catheterization is useful to evaluate intravascular volume status, while it has a chance of severe complications such as tension pneumothorax, cardiac tamponade, and so on. Now, we report a case of hemothorax after trying subclavian venous catheterization over again in a 2-year-old patient undergoing encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis, that required surgical intervention at the end. Though arterial puncture and massive hemothorax is a possible complication of subclavian venous catheterization, the injury of first intercostal artery might be due to inappropriate introducer needle accidentally. In conclusion, both routine chest image confirmation and close observation of expert might be important to prevent iatrogenic complication by anesthetic maneuvers.
