Abstract

　　Pediatric abdominal disorders related to catheters are presented especially focused on their imaging findings. These include pyriform sinus perforation with nasogastric tube, perforation during barium enema therapy in an intussusception patient, long intestinal tube-induced intussusception, and abdominal cerebrospinal fluid pseudocyst around ventriculoperitoneal shunt tube.
　Precise diagnostic imagings contribute to early recognition and successful treatments of these disorders.
