Abstract

Pericardial effusion in neonates is a rare occurrence associated with malpositioning of central venous catheters. This report describes a case of pericardial effusion in which echocardiographic determination of line position, typically considered one of the most reliable means of placement verification, was misleading. The infant ultimately did well after pericardiocentesis, with complete resolution of symptoms and no further complications.
