Lemierre's syndrome is a rare but indefinitely severe illness caused by the anaerobic bacterium, Fusobacterium necrophorum. It typically occurs in healthy teenagers and young adults who usually start as a throat infection which spreads via a septic thrombophlebitis of the tonsillar vein and internal jugular vein. Furthermore, the spread of infection is complicated by septic emboli to other site...

Transvenous interventions for intracranial vascular lesions are usually performed via venous access of a femoral vein puncture. However, the transjugular route is an alternative with a shorter and less tortuous vascular access for intracranial lesions. Although puncture of the internal jugular vein is generally believed to be too dangerous owing to potential hazardous complications, the safety ...

Background: We performed ultrasonographic examinations of the ipsilateral internal jugular vein after placement peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and found that more than half malpositions PICC went to head through vein. aimed reduce PICCs in settings where fluoroscopy is not available.

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...

RATIONALE Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) comprises a group of cerebral vascular diseases resulting from cerebral venous outflow obstruction caused by various etiologies. The etiology of CVT is complex, including infectious and noninfectious factors. The diagnosis is difficult. As a result, many patients are misdiagnosed or never diagnosed. This patient was diagnosed with CVT due to unilateral...

INTRODUCTION Central venous catheter placement is a routine procedure for the management of critically ill patients; however, it is important to ensure its proper placement. A central venous catheter malposition may cause various complications, some of which can be fatal. CASE PRESENTATION We report an unexpected malposition of a catheter in the left internal jugular vein, where it entered in...
