AI Article Synopsis
- Umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) are commonly used in perinatal care, but misplacement can lead to complications like liver injury and unusual ultrasound findings.
- Clinicians and radiologists need to recognize the specific imaging signs to prevent unnecessary procedures like liver biopsies.
- This study presents sonographic and CT images showcasing liver issues caused by UVC malposition to enhance understanding and diagnosis.
Article Abstract
Umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) have become a part of routine perinatal care. In the case of its misplacement, extravasation into liver parenchyma might be observed and unusual findings might be detected and a suspicion of tumoral lesions emerges during the ultrasound examination. To avoid the unnecessary liver biopsies and catastrophic complications of UVC misplacement in the pediatric population, clinicians and radiologists must be familiar with the radiological findings. We aimed to present sonographic and computed tomographic images of liver collections resulting from UVC malposition.
