Jugular vein phlebectasia is a rare venous anomaly commonly presenting as a unilateral neck swelling in children and adults. Its aetiology is unknown and its detection may have increased with availability of better imaging facilities. Due to its rarity, a high index of suspicion is required once other causes of neck swelling are excluded. The few reported cases are mainly in children and non-Africans adults. The authors report the case of a 54-year-old Nigerian woman presenting for the first time with a progressive, intermittent, painless right neck swelling, which was demonstrated on Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography to be an internal jugular phlebectasia. She had satisfactory surgical excision of the dilated segment for cosmetic reasons.

“… 29 There are a variety of etiologic hypotheses, such as anomalous reduplication of the IJV, compression of the IJV between the head of the clavicle and the cupula of the right lung, superior mediastinal irradiation, trauma, genetic disorders of connective tissue, and so forth. 30 To the best of our knowledge, a combination of HICA and IJV ectasia in the same patient has not been previously reported. Cases have been reported of an acquired carotid artery–IJV fistula, usually due to trauma causing IVJ ectasia 31 ; however, our patient had neither a history of trauma nor CTA-related findings.…”
