    Abstract

    Two infants receiving total parenteral nutrition via a central venous catheter positioned in the inferior vena cava developed an acute abdomen secondary to extravasation of the infusate. The presence of an associated abdominal mass necessitated a laparotomy in one patient. Both infants recovered completely after the catheter had been removed.
