ABSTRACT
A 64-year-old female was admitted due to iliopsoas abscess caused by misplacement of a central venous catheter (CVC) into the ascending lumbar vein (ALV). Despite removing the CVC and administering an antimicrobial agent, her general condition did not improve. Therefore, we performed a contrast-enhanced head computed tomography (CT) scan. The CT scan revealed a cerebellum abscess. Surgical cerebellum abscess drainage was thus performed urgently. We recommend using anteroposterior radiographs, J-guide wire catheter and ultrasound guidance to prevent misplacement. If misplacement of the CVC is suspected, it should be removed and a CT scan performed without hesitation as soon as possible.
