Abstract

Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion is generally straightforward but carries risks. While most complications are minor, rare serious events can occur, such as retroperitoneal hematoma. This report describes a patient who developed this complication after femoral CVC insertion and outlines the diagnostic approach, management, and important clinical insights.
