Venous Aneurysm of the Right External Jugular Vein / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

A case of lateral neck mass caused by thrombosis of the right external jugular vein is presented. Macroscopic examination of the excised thrombosed vein showed a pin-point opening of the jugular vein connecting to the hemorrhagic mass and microscopic examination revealed the vein to have an organized thrombus with somewhat degenerated vessel walls. Venipuncture would seem the most likely cause of thrombosis of the venous aneurysm in this 6 year old female patient.
