TLDR
Venography via the femoral vein was most valuable for visualization of the dilated segments of internal jugular veins but failed to show the vascular mass communicating with the superficial vein of the neck.Abstract:
We report five children with a soft mass in the neck due to congenital jugular venous ectasia. Three had fusiform dilatation of the internal jugular vein, which in one case was associated with dilatation of the ipselateral external jugular vein. Two children had aneurysmal dilatation of the superficial cervical communicating vein. The first four cases required angiographic studies for final diagnosis. Venography via the femoral vein was most valuable for visualization of the dilated segments of internal jugular veins but failed to show the vascular mass communicating with the superficial vein of the neck. These were best visualized by direct injection of the contrast medium into the vessel. In the fifth case a correct diagnosis was obtained with xeroradiography alone.read more

TL;DR: Prophylactic surgery is cautiously recommended for low-risk patients with venous aneurysms of the abdomen and strongly recommended for most patients with lower extremity deep venous Aneurysm of the extremity.

TL;DR: Two new cases of internal jugular phlebectasia in children published in English literature upto 1996 are reported, a theory of pathogenesis for this condition based on the regional anatomical features, principles of vascular physics and pathologic findings is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Internal jugular phlebectasia.
TL;DR: No treatment is indicated for this benign self-limiting condition, except for the few patients who complain of symptoms and require surgical removal of the affected vein, and therefore, if a diagnosis cannot be made with certainty from the clinical features, investigations should be as non-invasive as possible.

Internal jugular phlebectasia in two siblings: Manometric and histopathologic studies of the pathogenesis
TL;DR: It is assumed that congenital muscle defect of the right IJV wall, rather than mechanical obstruction in the lower neck or the mediastinum, might cause phlebectasia, the first report of IJV phle bectasia in siblings.

Phlebectasia of the jugular system.
TL;DR: Five cases of jugular phlebectasia in the neck are presented and it is of interest to note the symptomatology which was different in each of these cases.

Jugular venous ectasia in children. A report of 3 cases and review of the literature.
TL;DR: Three cases of jugular venous ectasia in children were diagnosed preoperatively by selective venography, and appear to be congenital dilatations of the veins and should not properly be called aneurysms, as their histological structure is normal.
