Abstract

Umbilical venous catheterization is a commonly performed bedside procedure in the neonatal unit. Potential complications include vascular perforation, thrombosis, embolism, haemorrhage, infection, and tissue injuries. We report a case of liver haematoma and haemoperitonem after exchange transfusion, which are uncommon complications of umbilical venous catheterization. Radiological features and clinical presentations are discussed.
