Among different locations, the most preferable access for catheter is internal jugular vein (IJV) due to its less adverse effects. Herein, we present case of brachial plexus injuries (BPI) as a complication of percutaneous IJV catheterization. After the development of acute renal failure due to lupus nephritis in a 25-years-old pregnant woman; pregnancy was terminated and hemodialysis treatment administered since she has uremic symptoms. Brachial plexus injury occurred after the insertion of IJV catheter. IJV catheterization is safe procedure if the doctor has enough experience. If weakness develops in ipsilateral upper extremity movements after catheterization, doctors should be suspected of BPI.}, number={1}, publisher={Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi}, organization={yok}
