Indwelling a hemodialysis catheter is a common practice in early care of end-stage renal disease patients. Most indwell cases were non-traumatic and non-complicated, but as in our presented case, improper placement of hemodialysis catheter can cause serious complications like pseudoaneurysm, stroke, or airway collapse. We presented a giant extracranial carotid artery pseudoaneurysm after an improper placement and removal of a temporary hemodialysis catheter.
