Omphalopylephlebitis and hepatic abscess in neonates are rare conditions mostly associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis infection and constitutes a complication of umbilical venous catheterization. The systemic infection is associated to diagnostic difficulties. We present the clinical and surgical findings of a twelve days male newborn patient with omphalopylephlebitis and hepatic abscess associated to umbilical vein catheterization.

Palabras llave : Pylephlebitis; Sepsis; Umbilical vein; Hepatic abscess.
