The authors report the case of an arterio-venous fistula between the internal mammary artery and the trunk of the innominate vein following puncture of the internal jugular. The clinical signs of this unusual complication led the authors to list the differential diagnoses which should be considered and to draw attention to the importance of digitalized angiography in anatomical diagnosis.
