Abstract

The procedure of tunnelled hemodialysis catheter insertion is generally considered safe. We report the case of a lady who had a malpositioned femoral tunneled hemodialysis catheter that entered into the spinal canal causing neurological weakness. The catheter was later safely removed leading to partial neurological recovery.
