Venopulmonary fistula occurred in a 13‐year‐old girl, 2 weeks after insertion of a silicone parenteral nutrition catheter. “TPN pneumonia” evolved to life‐threatening respiratory failure. Complete resolution of the respiratory insufficiency followed removal of the catheter. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 11 :580–582, 1987)
