“…1,2 VAs are classified according to their location and have been reported in association with the major veins of the neck, thorax, and abdomen as well as the deep and superficial veins of the upper or lower extremities. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] The natural history and clinical significance of VAs is related to their location and size. Neck and upper extremity VAs are usually asymptomatic and are most frequently treated because of their size and cosmetic appearance.…”

“…Inflammation, 1 arteriovenous dialysis fistula, 9 athletic injury, 8 and trauma 15,16 have all been considered as possible factors in pathogenesis. However, inflammatory changes 17 were considered to be an epiphenomenon rather than the cause of the aneurysm.…”

Venous aneurysm of the cephalic vein: Report of a case

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We herein report the rare case of a 41-year-old Japanese woman in whom a venous aneurysm in the left cephalic vein was excised under local anesthesia. Histological examination revealed significant diminution in the number and size of muscle and elastic fibers in the aneurysm wall. Conceivably, a combination of endophlebohypertrophy and a congenital focal defect of the elastic and muscle fibers might have contributed to the development of this venous aneurysm.

“…Abbott and Leigh [9], in categorizing aneurysmal venous diseases, made a distinction between congenital primary fusiform and saccular lesions, suggesting that a saccular lesion can be classified as a true venous aneurysm. Eifert et al [1] also made a distinction between the terms phlebectasia and aneurysm.…”

Venous malformations of the jugular veins are rare findings. Aneurysms and phlebectasias are the lesions most often reported. We report on an adult patient with an abruptly appearing large tumorous mass on the left side of the neck identified as a jugular vein aneurysm. Upon clinical examination with ultrasound, a lateral neck cyst was primarily suspected. Surgery revealed a saccular aneurysm in intimate connection with the internal jugular vein. Histology showed an organized hematoma inside the aneurysmal sac, which had a focally thinned muscular layer. The terminology and the treatment guidelines of venous dilatation lesions are discussed. For phlebectasias, conservative treatment is usually recommended, whereas for saccular aneurysms, surgical resection is the treatment of choice. While an exact classification based on etiology and pathophysiology is not possible, a more uniform taxonomy would clarify the guidelines for different therapeutic modalities for venous dilatation lesions.
