We describe two patients who developed internal jugular vein thrombosis associated with primary malignant disease arising outside the neck, and in one patient it was the presenting feature. Computed tomography was performed and the findings characteristic of internal jugular vein thrombosis are illustrated. We conclude that malignant disease should be considered in patients presenting with spon...

Fenestration of the internal jugular vein is a rare malformation. Herein, the authors describe an extreme fenestration of the left internal jugular vein. This anomaly was found incidentally in a 47-year-old male patient undergoing multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging and MDCT angiography evaluation for vertebral artery injury due to cervical trauma. MDCT angiography ...

Objective We sought to assess blood fl ow in relation to jugular lymphatic distension in fetuses with increased and normal nuchal translucency (NT). Study design In all, 72 fetuses with normal NT and 71 fetuses with NT > 95th percentile were evaluated. NTsize, jugular lymphatic sacs (JLS), jugular vein and ductus venosus pulsatility index for veins (PIV), and intracardiac velocities were measur...

This paper considers abnormalities of flow patterns in the flow patterns in the cervical vasculature due to varying degrees of jugular venous reflux, and their influence on cerebral bloodflow studies. Two commonly encountered patterns are described. In the first group, the abnormal flow study resulted from reflux of the activity in the left internal jugular vein. In the second group, the observ...

Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is a global epidemic mainly affecting Eastern Mediterranean and European Regions with 2.3% and 1.5% prevalence, respectively. In addition, nearly 80% of people with HIV who inject drugs also have HCV infection. Current HCV direct acting antiviral agents (DAA) are well tolerated and available in most western countries. However, routine limb vein puncture remai...

We present three cases of duplicated or fenestrated internal jugular veins in patients undergoing neck dissection, including the first known case of concomitant bovine aortic arch. The prevalence of this anomaly is 1.0% (three out of 295 patients). Internal jugular vein duplication and fenestration may risk iatrogenic injury to the vasculature and spinal accessory nerve during neck dissection. ...
