Department of Neurology, National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan Thrombosis of the thoracic inlet veins following placement of a central venous catheter is a well-known complication, and several findings have been reported by color Doppler sonography. However, reverse jugular flow resulting from this complication is rarely mentioned and should be differentiated from another complication of iatrogenic arteri ovenous fistula between neck vessels. The authors here describe a uremic patient with an artificial arteriovenous fistula in the forearm complicated with thrombosis of the ipsilat eral brachiocephalic vein. Factors permitting the differential diagnosis by color Doppler sonography and clinical conditions are proposed.
