Core Tip	This is a case report of a rare case of a preterm baby with air in the portal venous system due to malpositioning of an umbilical catheter rather than necrotizing enterocolitis. Air in the portal venous system is very important in neonates, as it represents a late sign of necrotizing enterocolitis, and it is considered a relative indicator for surgical intervention. The aim of this case report is to deliver a massage to pediatric surgeons and neonatologists to be aware of this finding and not to rush for surgical intervention.
