Jugular vein ectasia presenting with hoarseness of voice- A rare association
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Immunology and Respiratory Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Jugular vein ectasia is a congenital dilatation of the jugular vein presenting as a swelling in the neck. Although a benign condition, it can sometimes be associated with hoarseness of voice, horner’s syndrome and hemorrhage. The condition can be diagnosed by imaging studies in particular during a Valsalva maneuver. There is no specific treatment for this condition. Surgical option may be required for cosmetic reasons. Though a less common condition it should be one of the differentials of a neck swelling. We report a case of internal jugular vein ectasia presenting with hoarseness of voice.
