CT and Sonographic Findings of a Calcified Fibrin Sheath From an Umbilical Venous Catheter in a Neonate

Central venous catheters are ubiquitous in current medical practice in intensive care units and for long-term nutrition, chemotherapy, and antibiotic therapies. Umbilical venous catheters provide short-term central vascular access and are used in the neonatal period. This case presents sonographic a...

description Central venous catheters are ubiquitous in current medical practice in intensive care units and for long-term nutrition, chemotherapy, and antibiotic therapies. Umbilical venous catheters provide short-term central vascular access and are used in the neonatal period. This case presents sonographic and CT imaging findings of an intrahepatic and intracardiac calcified fibrin sheath following removal of a short-term umbilical venous catheter in a 32-day-old premature neonate.
