Iatrogenic Intrapulmonary Drain Placement

Imaging findings

Catheters misidentified as being in the pleural space, which were actually placed intraparenchymally or through the fissure.

Key takeaways

Be suspicious of drain position when a pigtail fails to form correctly or when clinical status doesn't match expected drainage; potential for parenchymal hemorrhage.
