The use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is now commonplace in clinical practice both for monitoring and intravenous administration of drugs or fluids. The authors describe the case of a complication not previously reported following placement of a PICC prior to a head and neck procedure. The literature on complications following PICC use is reviewed.
