“…Several authors confirmed that anticoagulation alone is insufficient for preventing such complications [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ]. Most patients with external jugular vein aneurysm underwent surgical treatment with local, and general anesthesia [ 16 , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] , [34] ].…”

Introduction and importance Venous aneurysms are rare diseases, and according to their locations, history will change. They will be diagnosed based on the clinical history and imaging modalities. The exact incidence of external jugular vein aneurysm remains controversial. In the neck, venous aneurysm has been reported most commonly in the internal jugular vein. Frequently the venous aneurysm has a fusiform shape, and the saccular type is extremely rare. Case presentation Here we present a case of the external jugular vein aneurysm which was misdiagnosed as a branchial cyst presented with gradual swelling in the left supraclavicular region. The patient was diagnosed intraoperatively, and by histopathological examination. The patient successfully underwent surgery of Proximal and distal control of the external jugular vein without resection of the clavicle were performed, and trans -fixation of the external jugular vein was done without any complications. Clinical discussion Idiopathic, spontaneous venous aneurysm of the external jugular vein thrombosis is extremely rare clinical findings. Computerized tomography was the gold standard test for the diagnosis of venous thrombosis, but nowadays neck ultrasound is the diagnostic test of choice. However, the mass was like a branchial cyst by ultrasound. Conclusion External jugular vein aneurysm is rare, when it was a saccular type and thrombosed without any causes it will be extremely rare. When idiopathic thrombosis of external jugular vein aneurysm was confirmed by imaging modalities, then it was symptomatic, enlarged, ruptured or disfigured, the surgical excision will be mandatory without anticoagulant drugs preoperatively or postoperatively.

Saccular Aneurysm of the External Jugular Vein: An Unusual Cause of a Neck Mass

Venous aneurysms are rare cause of neck masses. Among neck veins, external jugular vein aneurysms are incredibly uncommon. We, herein, report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a non-tender, non-pulsatile, progressively enlarging mass in the left supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination showed a saccular dilatation of the external jugular vein. Saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein are uncommon, and serious complications are rarely encountered. Ultrasonography with color flow duplex imaging can allow early detection of such venous aneurysms of the neck making the other imaging methods unnecessary.

“…Venous aneurysms in humans can involve any veins in the body, including cervical, thoracic, visceral, and upper and lower extremity veins. They can be classified into primary (congenital) and acquired lesions (Al‐Shaikhi et al 2003; Aiyappan et al 2013; Verma et al 2013; Swaika et al 2013; Mohanty et al 2013; Lee et al 2014; Kim et al 2016; Neto et al 2016). Primary venous aneurysms are true venous aneurysms because in these lesions the venous wall is intact (Al‐Shaikhi et al 2003; Aiyappan et al 2013; Kim et al 2016).…”

Venous aneurysm of the jugular vein in horses

Venous anomalies of the jugular vein are uncommon in the horse. Jugular venous aneurysms (congenital or pseudoaneurysm) in horses usually present as a compressible asymptomatic cervical mass enlarging on manual congestion of the jugular vein. They can be classified into primary (congenital) and acquired lesions. Primary venous aneurysms are true venous aneurysms because in these lesions the venous wall is intact, whereas false or pseudoaneurysm has a disruption of the inner layers of the venous wall. Two types of jugular vein aneurysm can be identified, fusiform or saccular, the former being the most common in people. Doppler ultrasound imaging confirms the diagnosis. Surgical treatment, aneurysmectomy with venorraphy or venoplasty is indicated in case of progressive aneurysmal expansion. This clinical commentary describes a 4‐month‐old foal presented with a primary aneurysm of the right jugular vein in the midcervial region. Treatment consisted of partial aneurysmectomy and venorraphy. Four years later, the horse had a patent jugular vein with a normal diameter and was trained without clinical signs of venous distension.
