Right internal juglar vein phlebectasia: a diagnostic conundrum

BMJ Case Rep. 2024 Jul 29;17(7):e261625. doi: 10.1136/bcr-2024-261625.

ABSTRACT

Phlebectasia of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is an unusual vascular anomaly, particularly in paediatric patients. Here, we present a case of IJV phlebectasia of a girl in her early childhood, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and management. The patient presented with a painless, non-pulsatile neck mass, which was identified as an enlarged IJV on imaging studies. Since it is a benign condition, and the patient is asymptomatic, observation with regular monitoring is advised.
