External Jugular Vein Aneurysm with Thrombus Presenting as Neck Mass: A Case Report (Rare Case)
Journal Title: Journal of Case Reports and Studies - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
External jugular vein aneurysm with thrombosis presenting as neck swelling is a rare clinical entity and rarely encountered in routine clinical practice in otorhinolaryngology. We present a case of a 52-year-old female with external jugular vein aneurysm presenting as a neck mass. Ultrasound of the neck and CT showed saccular dilation of the external jugular vein with thrombosis within the aneurysm. Saccular aneurysm of the external jugular vein is very uncommon and can lead to thrombotic complications with serious consequence.
