Objective: The objective of this study is to demonstrate the sonographic and computed tomographic features of venous pseudoaneurysms and show the difference between true and false venous aneurysms and arterial pseudoaneurysms. Likewise, it was important to provide a historical context based on a literature review of vascular aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, emphasizing venous pseudoaneurysms. Materials and Methods: Clinical cases are presented for context, and the vascular examinations were performed utilizing a General Electric (GE) Logiq Fortis or Logiq S8 scanners with a broad-band linear-array transducer (L2-9). Computed tomography (CT) with contrast was performed on a GE Revolution Maxima 64-slice CT scanner with 100 mL Omnipaque-350 as a contrast agent. The three-dimensional (3D) axial, sagittal, and coronal reconstructions were made with the Philips IntelliSpace software. Levels of evidence are provided based on a literature search of relevant publications using the National Library of Medicine, PubMed, and Google Books. Results: Different types of venous pseudoaneurysms, venous aneurysms, and arterial pseudoaneurysm diagnosed by duplex sonography and CT were presented. An extensive historical and literature review was conducted based on publications from the 18th to 21st centuries. Conclusion: Venous pseudoaneurysms are uncommon. Most of them are iatrogenic and are usually found as a complication of repetitive venipuncture in patients receiving hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistulas. In rare cases, venous pseudoaneurysms occur spontaneously.

“…Venous aneurysms in the head and neck are rarely encountered in clinical practice owing to the low-pressure system of the superior vena cava. [1][2][3][4] The majority of them involve the internal jugular vein (IJV), followed by the EJV and the anterior veins in decreasing frequency. 5 They can either be congenital or acquired.…”

“…The treatment of choice in people for an external jugular vein aneurysm is surgical excision for cosmetic purposes and avoidance of potential complications, such as thromboembolism or rupture (Al‐Shaikhi et al 2003; Verma et al 2013; Başbuğ et al 2016; Kaur et al 2016; Lucatelli et al 2017). Because of the gradual increase in size in the foal, surgical management was advised.…”

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.
