The fat overload syndrome developed in a 7-year-old girl who was on home TPN which included 20% Intralipid (total lipid dose 3.2 g/kg/d). Acute respiratory insufficiency developed with cough, dyspnea, tachypnea, and cyanosis. The chest x-ray revealed mild cardiomegaly and pulmonary edema. Blood gases showed profound hypoxia (PaO2 29 torr on room air). Spontaneous resolution occurred over the next seven days as the lipemia cleared.

In this paper, we present a preterm infant with acute focal lung edema due to central venous catheter migration into the right pulmonary vein. The substances aspirated from the endotracheal tube contained the parenteral nutrition fluid. Thus, parenteral nutrition fluid extravasation into the lung or a vasculopulmonary fistula was suspected. The course of complication was smooth after the catheter was withdrawn into the right atrium. This unusual presentation during TPN hyperalimentation was described in order to prevent a potentially dangerous event.
