“…Thirdly, spontaneous occlusion of the internal jugular vein appears to be a very rare occurrence, most occlusions being secondary to central venous catheterization. 17 McNeill 17 also commented that many occlusions may go unrecognized due to the deep location of the vessel, the adequacy of collateral circulation, and the high venous flow rate. In fact, this case might have remained undetected without direct visualization of the internal jugular at surgery.…”

A case is presented in which the detection of venous-stasis retinopathy in one eye led to investigation of the carotid circulation. There were no neurologic symptoms of carotid insufficiency, and noninvasive tests failed to reveal significant carotid pathology. Digital subtraction angiography and carotid angiography demonstrated a carotid plaque of doubtful significance. At carotid endarterectomy, the venous-stasis retinopathy was found to be associated with venous thrombosis distant from the eye and in the internal jugular vein. This site is beyond the range over which isolated ocular vascular effects would be expected and was thought to be unrelated to the hemodynamically insignificant, nonulcerated carotid artery plaque. The possibility of this association being causal is discussed. (Stroke 1987;18:808-811)

“…Spontaneous IJV thrombosis found incidentally can be asymptomatic because of adequate collateral circulation with high venous flow rate. [2] However, it can complicate as septic embolism, pulmonary embolism, elevated intracranial pressure or intracranial venous thrombosis. [34] Sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induces a prothrombotic state with moderate risk (10-40%) for developing DVT.…”

“…The underlying etiologic factors of the IJVT are mainly: trauma to the blood vessel wall during central venous catheterization or intimal injury in intravenous drug abusers, hypercoagulable states such as polycythemia, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, low antithrombin III levels, tumors associated with hypercoagulability and some infectious conditions [2][3][4]. Although many cases of IJVT in association with various etiologic factors have been reported, there are few primary spontaneous IJVT reported in the literature [5,6].…”

Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is a vascular disorder that results from various clinical conditions. The vast majority of IJVT are considered to be complications of central venous catheterization. The list of associated conditions must also be expanded and should include the following: mediastinal tumors, low antithrombin III levels, tumors associated with hypercoagulability, previous central venous catheterization, neck surgery, intravenous drug abuse, neoplasms of the head and neck, Hughes-Stovin syndrome, which is associated with pseudotumor cerebri and seizures in children, and other conditions such as local inflammation from radiation therapy or sepsis and infective cervical adenopathy. There are several cases in the literature related to spontaneous IJVT. Spontaneous IJVT may occur when there are no apparent predisposing mechanical or inflammatory causes although a few of these patients may harbor an occult neoplasm.
