“…In the literature, there are 21 reported internal jugular v. duplications (IJVD) in 18 individual cases. Out of these ten were identified operatively [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], four radiologically [10][11][12] and four by cadaveric dissections [13][14][15][16] (Table 1). The condition is unilateral in most of the cases, with only three of the 18 reported cases being bilateral [2,10,13].…”

Internal jugular vein duplication (IJVD) is a rare phenomenon. Twenty-one such instances in 18 individuals have been reported to date. We report an intra-operative case of unilateral IJVD in a 32-year-old male, who was operated for cancer of gingivobuccal sulcus. We have reviewed the published literature and have proposed a classification scheme in order to make future reporting systematic. The condition has been classified into type A, B and C based on their morphology. About 75 % of the reported cases are of Type A. Type C is the most complex of all the duplications. Though IJVD is physiologically inconsequential, it has clinical implications. Percutaneous catheterisation of the vein could be hazardous in all cases, but more so in type B and C duplications. As with any anomaly, the risk of accidental injury increases during surgical procedures. It is important to document findings of this anomaly in order to understand its anatomy and implications in a better way.

“…A number of reports on congenital internal jugular phlebectasia have appeared in the literature [2][3][4][5], including the first report by Zukschwerdt [1]. However, the majority have involved the right side in male children [4], and reports of left-side involvement in adult women, such as the present case, are rare.…”

“…enlargement with Valsalva maneuvers [6]. In most of the previously reported cases of internal jugular phlebectasia, a definite diagnosis was reached only at operation [1,2] or by venography [3,7]. However, since surgical intervention is often not indicated for this condition and percutaneous venography by the transfemoral aproach or direct puncture is an invasive procedure associated with various com-plications and discomfort to the patient, the availability of non-invasive diagnostic methods would be highly desirable.…”

“…Internal jugular phlebectasia is a rare condition which, in most of the few cases reported [1][2][3][4][5] to date, has been diagnosed by venography or at surgery. Ultrasonography permits non-invasive real-time diagnosis of the morphology of this phenomenon, and when combined with Doppler flow imaging can confirm the presence or absence of blood flow as well as its direction.…”

Usefulness of ultrasonography and Doppler color flow imaging in the diagnosis of internal jugular phlebectasia

et al. 1992

A 20-year-old woman presented to our hospital for investigation of a left neck mass. Ultrasonographic examination of the jugular mass demonstrated an echo-free space, the caliber of which markedly increased when the patient shifted from the sitting to the recumbent position or performed a Valsalva maneuver. On color Doppler flow imaging, a slow flow signal flowing in the direction opposite to that of the common carotid artery was found within this space. Ultrasonography and color Doppler flow imaging thus proved to be useful for correctly diagnosing internal jugular phlebectasia.

Jugular phlebectasia is fusiform dilatation of internal jugular vein seen in childrens. It usually occurs in children but can occur at any age. It usually presents as unilateral swelling in the neck found during coughing and shouting. It is usually asymptomatic, so it is often ignored or misdiagnosed. Differential diagnosis include laryngocele, cavernous hemangioma, cystic hygroma, branchial cyst. Treatment is usually conservative as complications like thrombosis and horners syndrome are very rare. Non invasive investigations like Doppler sonogram and are usually done to diagnose this condition. We report two cases of jugular phlebectasia, who presented to our out patient department with history of swelling in the right side of neck which increases on crying and shouting. Doppler sonogram and ultrasound was done to diagnose the condition. There seems be lack of knowledge among medical fraternity in various specialities. So a questionnaire was prepared to assess the knowledge among resident doctors, general practitioners, Otorhinolaryngologists, paediatricians. Questionnaire was posted in social networking sites and the feedback was obtained. Out of the 150 interns in our hospital, only one (0.66 %) was able to explain about the condition. In general practitioners group containing 369 respondents, only 4 (1.08 %) knew the condition and have seen patients. A pediatricians group containing 312 respondents only 23 (7.37 %) pediatricians knew the condition, 289 (92.62 %) persons had no idea about the treatment. Otorhinolaryngologists group containing 328 respondents. 21 (6.40 %) knew the condition, 293 (89.3 %) have no idea. The Chi square test shows that the specialty of the respondent like pediatrician and ENT practitioner have more knowledge than the other for jugular phlebectasia at p \ 0.0001.
