Abstract
Complications of extravasation of intravenous fluid are not rare in pediatr ic practice, and their local (skin necrosis) and regional (vasculo nervous) implications can be severe. Two cases are presented in order to discuss th e different treatments options and to describe the subcutaneous aspiration technique, which can be immediately efficient if proposed in a short delay.
