A very low-birth-weight neonate developed chylus-like urine after receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) via percutaneous central venous catheters (CVC) for 7 weeks. A perirenal fluid collection could be seen under sonography. This kind of complication has not been described in literature. After withdrawing the CVC for 5 cm, the urine cleared up. For patients under prolonged PN via CVC and repeated change dressing of the CVC, close monitoring and regular evaluation of the position of the catheter tip are warranted.
