A case of occlusion of arteria cerebri media after an unsuccessful attempt to cannulate the internal jugular vein is reported. This central vein presents itself in any case of emergency during an operation because it is easily feasible and the complication rate is relatively low. Possible pathological mechanism and preventive measures are discussed.
