“…Thrombosis may be incomplete without total occlusion of the vessel lumen, or extensive collateral venous circulation results in the IJVT not being clinically apparent. [13][14][15][16] Intravenous drug abuse may be the leading cause for IJVT in certain populations with large numbers of intravenous drug users. This occurs because some of these individuals eventually be-gin to inject into the internal jugular vein after having exhausted all their peripheral IJVT resulting from direct tumor extension and compression, as illustrated by case 2, is very rare.…”

Nonspontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is an uncommon condition historically associated with deep neck infections during the pre-antibiotic era. Today, trauma to the internal jugular vein from catheterization and repeated intravenous injections by drug users are the leading causes of thrombosis, with direct extension of tumor being a rare cause. Spontaneous IJVT occurs when there are no apparent predisposing causes, although many of these patients may harbor an occult malignant neoplasm. Therefore, careful investigation and follow-up are imperative in these patients. The diagnosis of IJVT is readily confirmed by contrast-enhanced computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Management of IJVT involves anticoagulation, antibiotics, and with few indications for surgical intervention.
