Small-bore pleural catheters are used to drain simple effusions effectively. They are less invasive and more comfortable than tube thora costomy. As with any other intervention, these small catheters have their associated complications. Herein, we report a case of a young woman who was diagnosed with tuberculous pleural effusion. Easydrain pleural catheter was inserted to drain the effusion; it broke in situ because of improper insertion and was later removed using medical thoracoscopy.
