Brachial plexus palsy due to subclavian artery pseudo aneurysm from internal jugular cannulation

Abstract: Internal jugular vein is the preferred route for central venous cannulation because of easy accessibility and high success rate. Arterial puncture is the most common complication, the reported incidence being 9.3%. However, brachial plexus palsy following arterial puncture is a rare complication of this procedure. We report a case of brachial plexus palsy due to compression by right subclavian pseudoaneurysm as a result of internal jugular vein cannulation in chronic renal failure patient.

“…If a symptom is actually present, the most frequently encountered ones are upper chest and shoulder pain (6)(7)(8)10). Due to the closeness of the subclavian artery to the brachial plexus, an aneurysm arising from this artery may lead to motor and sensory symptomatology due to the impingement of the brachial plexus by the aneurysm (11). Impingement of the lower cervical truncus, on the other hand, may lead to the onset of shoulder pain.…”

“…Combined pseudoaneurysm and AV fistula of the subclavian artery and vein and its surgical management has rarely been reported in the literature. Rupture of a pseudoaneurysm is especially dangerous to the patient [1-3]. …”
