The Anterior Jugular Venous System (AJVS) comprises a pair of anterior jugular veins and jugular venous arch, which plays an important role in the interconnection between superfi cial and deep veins. Anatomical variation of the AJVS predisposes one to dangerous complications during procedures involving head and neck region. Furthermore, these aberrant anatomies may manifest in various clinical forms which may be a challenge to diagnose. In the present study, we report a case of a enlarged jugular venous arch inducing a tumor-mimicking lesion in suprasternal notch. The knowledge about these anatomical variations can assist the physicians in interpreting neck masses and preventing iatrogenic injury.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
