Central venous cannulation through the right internal
jugular vein, which is a widely used technique, may lead
to complications at different stages, including catheter
placement stage, indwelling stage and the removal stage.
Malposition of the central venous catheter may also result
in catastrophic consequences. In this article, we report
74-year-old male case with misplaced central venous
catheter into the right vertebral vein in seventh vertebral
foramen, which was detected at the catheter removal stage.
