ABSTRACT
Central Venous Port Catheters are increasingly used in critically ill patients for intravenous treatments and nutrition, and lately, a main focus of oncology patients receiving chemotherapy. Besides all advantages they have also added a new set of challenges. In this case report we describe the acute presentation of a right hemidiaphragm paralysis in an oncology patient with recurrent breast ductal carcinoma as an immediate rare complication of a right subclavian vein catheterization and port insertion.
