We report an exceptional misplacement of a central venous catheter, from the right jugular vein where it was introduced, into the right thyro-lingual-facial trunk. A brief description of the clinical course and a literature review on catheter misplacement is presented. This case illustrates the importance of routine use of a chest X-ray, and when necessary contrast medium, to verify the correct location of the catheter tip.

Abstract

We report an exceptional misplacement of a central venous catheter, from the right jugular vein where it was introduced, into the right thyro-lingual-facial trunk. A brief description of the clinical course and a literature review on catheter misplacement is presented. This case illustrates the importance of routine use of a chest X-ray, and when necessary contrast medium, to verify the correct location of the catheter tip.
