Background: Haemodialysis is an essential life-saving procedure for persons suffering from kidney failure. Haemodialysis is usually aceived by central venous catheterization. Neck hornformation is one of the most serious and seldom complications of the procedure.Case Report: A haemodialysis catheter was placed in a 43-year-old man's right internal jugular vein after his arteriovenous fistula failed. After having the catheter removed, a neck horn developed at the puncture site. Horn resection and thrombus evacuation were the surgical treatment methods used.Conclusion: Neck horn following an internal jugular catheter insertion might be dangerous if left untreated. The horn and thrombus are best removed surgically and treated with antibiotics.
