“…Comparatively rare entities, venous aneurysms frequently result from congenital deficiencies of the vessel wall rather than degenerative processes, and more often come to attention in the pediatric population [1], [2], [3]. Anatomically, venous aneurysms most frequently occur in the upper extremity but are seldom reported since they are typically asymptomatic [4].…”

Jugular vein aneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that are most commonly encountered in the pediatric population. We report two separate cases in infants, both of whom presented with enlarging neck masses and were found to have jugular vein aneurysms. Diagnosis was established with duplex ultrasonography, computed tomography angiography, digitally subtracted catheter venography, and magnetic resonance imaging in one case and magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic resonance angiography/magnetic resonance venography, gray scale ultrasonography, and digital subtraction catheter venography in the other case. Both aneurysms were treated by surgical resection.

“…Although fusiform cervical venous dilatations represent a frequent occurrence, saccular venous aneurysms of the external jugular veins are extremely rare, with a few cases been reported in the English literature, all involving true venous aneurysms and none associated with prior venous catheterization [5–10]. We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with a saccular aneurysm of the external jugular vein possibly associated with prior internal jugular vein catheterization, which was diagnosed using Doppler US and confirmed by MDCT angiography.…”

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 revealed a saccular dilatation of the external jugular vein, suggesting a posttraumatic venous aneurysm. Saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein are uncommon and only rarely lead to serious complications. Access to ultrasound examination can allow early detection of this entity.

“…CT angiography with Digital subtraction angiography is the gold standard in the diagnosis but venous color Doppler ultrasound is a noninvasive, accurate, and low-cost method for evaluation of venous aneurysms and is considered as the first-line study in the diagnosis of cervical venous aneurysms [7][8][9][10].…”

“…Surgical excision is the treatment of choice in the management of venous aneurysm of the neck for the fear of risk of thrombosis, possible fear of rupture, and for cosmetic and esthetical reasons [10].…”

A 52-year-old woman presented at our department with complaints of progressive swelling on left sternomastoidien region for 3 years. There was no history of preceding trauma, or cannulation of the vein and infusion of fluid for extended period .and there was no history of difficulty in swallowing, change in voice or any nasal symptoms. AbstractExternal jugular vein aneurysm with thrombosis presenting as neck swelling is a rare clinical entity and rarely encountered in routine clinical practice in otorhinolaryngology. Keywords: Saccular aneurysm; External jugular vein; ThrombosisWe present a case of a 52-year-old female with external jugular vein aneurysm presenting as a neck mass. Ultrasound of the neck and CT showed saccular dilation of the external jugular vein with thrombosis within the aneurysm. Saccular aneurysm of the external jugular vein is very uncommon and can lead to thrombotic complications with serious consequence.Physical examination revealed a 4 × 3 cm soft, round, non-pulsatile, fluctuant swelling on the left sternocleidomastoidien region.A 52-year-old woman presented at our department with complaints of progressive swelling on left sternomastoidien region for 3 years. There was no history of preceding trauma, or cannulation of the vein and infusion of fluid for extended period .and there was no history of difficulty in swallowing, change in voice or any nasal symptoms.The overlying skin over the swelling had no signs of inflammation. Swelling was mobile in horizontal plane. There was mild increase in the size of the swelling during Valsalva manoeuvre and during laughing. The swelling was mildly compressible and slip sign was negative. No bruit could be detected on auscultation over the swelling. There was no other swelling in the neck or on other parts of the body. Nasofibroscopy and rhinocavoscopy were normal.Ultrasonography of the neck reported a thin-walled cystic mass on the left side abutting the left external jugular vein, Contrastenhanced computed tomography scan of the neck showed a focal area of dilatation of the left external jugular vein and enhancing oval-shaped swelling arising from the external jugular vein (Figure 1).
