Venous aneurysms are rare causes of neck mass. Among neck veins, aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely uncommon. We present a case of a woman with a history of prior internal jugular vein catheterization who presented at a rural primary health care unit with a nontender progressively enlarging swelling in the right supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination...

Sensory transduction in esophageal afferents requires specific ion channels and receptors. TRPM8 is a new member of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family and participates in cold- and menthol-induced sensory transduction, but its role in visceral sensory transduction is still less clear. This study aims to determine TRPM8 function and expression in esophageal vagal afferent subt...

this study was carried out in order to determine the leave characteristics of some chestnut genotypes in the central black sea region of turkey and also to determine whether the leaf morphometric characteristics could be used for differentiation of genotypes. in this study, seven chestnut (castanea sativa mill.) genotypes (sa5-1, se 3-12, se 21-2, se 21-9, 552-8, 556-7 and 556-8) and one cultiv...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Little is known about how commonly the internal jugular vein is compressed by extrinsic structures in the upper neck. The purpose of this paper was to identify the frequency and cause of external compression of the superior segment of the internal jugular vein. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of CT angiograms of the neck was performed in 108 consecutive patie...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Intracranial venous hypertension is known to be associated with venous outflow obstruction. We discuss the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical venous outflow obstruction causing pseudotumor cerebri. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We report 2 patients presenting with central venous outflow obstruction secondary to osseous compression of the internal jugular veins at the cran...

Yardangs are one of the most amazing geomorphic features of Lut desert, Iran developed in alluvial deposits of Pleistocene. They appear as the streamlined hills that are separated by U-shaped troughs with a flat-topped. The study of yardang’s morphometric parameters is important to define their morphological indices. In This study, we describe the morphology of yardangs in the Lut playa, analyz...

Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a serious event with potentially fatal outcome, where the clinical symptoms may be vague or absent. This paper refers to a rare case where routine carotid Doppler ultrasound prior to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR) in a 76-year-old man, incidentally revealed thrombosis of the right internal jugular vein. Thoracic CT d...

A case of a patient with bilateral internal, external, posterior external and anterior jugular vein ligations and excisions performed in the neck due to a larynx tumor is presented. Radical neck dissection is a standard otorhinolaryngological procedure in the management of head and neck cancer patients with bilateral lymph node metastasis to the neck. Sacrifice of both internal and external jug...

The internal jugular vein continues to be the preferred site for cannulation to monitor central venous pressure despite the reported evidence of the accuracy of external jugular venous pressure (EJVP) to reliably predict internal jugular venous pressure (IJVP). Internal jugular venous cannulation carries a risk of thrombosis that can be life-threatening in children undergoing superior cavopulmo...
