Abstract
Numerous reports of complications of central venous catheters have appeared in the
literature. Most often these complications are diagnosed by plain or interventional
radiography. Two cases are reported in which computed tomography was instrumental
in diagnosing an abnormality that was not obvious on conventional radiography. This
report demonstrates the value of this noninvasive technique for rapid and accurate
evaluation.
