“…Most of the reported developmental IJV anomalies were diagnosed intraoperatively. In one case, IJV fenestration was diagnosed as a result of an accidental incision of one of its branches, which resulted in profuse hemorrhage [6]. The awareness of the presence of IJV malformations can prevent complications during surgery and vascular procedures such as inserting central venous catheters (CVC).…”

“…The Best-known anatomical variants of the IJV are fenestration and duplication. Both anomalies occur in circa 1-2% of the population -with IJV duplication prevalence estimated at around 0.4%, and are usually diagnosed intraoperatively or during anatomical dissections [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Occasionally these malformations can be found in diagnostic imaging examinations, mainly CT or MRI with intravenous (i.v.)…”

Duplication and fenestration of IJV are rare malformations that are usually accidental findings during neck surgeries and anatomical dissections. Their prevalence is estimated at 1-2%, while the prevalence of IJV duplication alone is around 0.4%. This is the first reported case of both fenestration and duplication of the contralateral IJVs and one of few that confirm the coexistence of vascular malformations in other vessels -in this case, cerebral arteries. The awareness of the presence of IJV malformations can prevent complications during surgeries in the neck area and vascular procedures such as IJV catheterization.

“…An aneurysm is a vessel dilation that involves degeneration of all layers of the venous wall, while phlebectasia involves thinning of tunica media [6,15]. Duplications were found to be associated with phlebectasia in 46% of cases [86,116]. IJV phlebectasia is a fusiform, soft, non-pulsating swelling of the vein which increases in size during the Valsalva maneuver [57].…”
