Central venous catheterization is a common procedure in emergency and intensive care unit, but it has a high risk of certain complications especially infectious and thromboembolic, which remains frequent. We report a case of a rare complication of catheter insertion which was the migration of guidewire through the circulating system from the femoral vein to the jugular vein. The management of guidewire migration can be either interventional or surgical depending on the experience of the surgical and interventional radiology team.
