    Abstract:
    Very few cases of children with cardiac tamponade from central venous catheterization have been reported. Four cases are described. In 3 patients the diagnosis was suspected, a pericardiocentesis was performed and they survived. The other patient died and, at autopsy, diagnosis was made. The available literature on cardiac tamponade from central venous catheters in children is reviewed, preventive measures are considered in detail and the need for a high index of suspicion is highlighted.
