Extensive Neurological Damage After Cannulation of Internal Jugular Vein
BMJ 1:314, Briscoe,C.E.,et al, 1974
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Internal jugular vein cannulation is reputed to be a safe procedure.The only neurological complication reported after it is a Horner's syndrome (Parikh,1972).We report a case in which lesions of the left cervical sympathetic nerve;the ninth,tenth,eleventh,and twelfth cranial nerves;and the anterior branches of the second,third,and fourth cervical nerves occurred after left internal jugular cannulation.
