Abstract
We report permanent tetraplegia in a newborn resulting from intraspinal malposition of a transfemoral catheter. In 2 other neonates paravertebral malposition of indwelling Silastic lines was detected. We suggest that left-sided transfemoral catheterization and conditions enhancing collateral flow through the vertebrolumbar pathway may predispose to inadvertent paravertebral catheter placement.Entities:
