ABSTRACT
Central venous catheterization is a preferred method for intensive care patients who require total parenteral nutrition (TPN). TPN can cause tissue damage due to osmotic effects and the presence of ions. We report a case of TPN extravasation into the pleural cavity due to a shift in position of a subclavian central vein catheter. In this report, we discuss the importance of serial follow up of chest X-ray examination in patients with central vein catheterization.
