Core Tip We describe the first case of umbilical venous catheterization extravasation masquerading as high-output peritoneal drainage in the context of spontaneous intestinal perforation. Unlike typical presentations of abdominal distension or metabolic derangements, our patient exhibited persistently clear drain output, delaying diagnosis. Radiographic confirmation and prompt catheter removal led to rapid recovery. This case underscores the need for vigilance, early imaging, and multidisciplinary collaboration when managing unexplained peritoneal drainage in preterm infants with central lines.
