This case report describes the delayed migration of an interscalene brachial plexus catheter that was inserted for postoperative analgesia and to facilitate physiotherapy after shoulder surgery. Approximately 18 h after surgery the catheter was found to have migrated into the interpleural space, which could have resulted in a serious complication, namely a pneumothorax.
