The internal jugular vein is an uncommon site of spontaneous venous thrombosis. Most cases usually result from intravenous drug abuse, jugular vein catheterisation, neck dissection, a hypercoagulable state associated with malignancy (Trousseau's syndrome), neck injury or ovarian overstimulation syndrome. In this paper, we present and discuss two cases of spontaneous jugular vein thrombosis associated with breast and lung malignancies. The possibility of Trousseau's syndrome due to distant malignancy should be considered by otolaryngologists and appropriately investigated.

“…The thrombosis of IJV is mostly caused by repeating intravenous injections, drug abuse, polycythaemia, and hypercoagulability, following neck surgery like neck dissection, radiotherapy, deep neck infections, oropharyngeal infections, Lemierre's syndrome, and cervical trauma. Cervical inflammation, mass, or sepsis may also coexist with the thrombosis of IJV [ 10 – 12 ]. Our patient did not have any of the abovementioned conditions and thrombosis antecedently.…”

Vascular anomalies of major venous vessels are rarely seen. Moreover, congenital absence of internal jugular vein is extremely uncommon. In our case, a female patient presented with primary unknown left cervical mass. Cervical ultrasonography demonstrated absence of right internal jugular vein. In addition, computed tomography and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging scans confirmed this diagnosis. Compensatory left internal jugular vein enlargement mimicked sort of cervical mass. Venous magnetic resonance imaging images revealed the absence of right internal jugular vein with compensatory left internal jugular vein dominance. In the literature, the agenesis of IJV was mentioned in a case with concomitant multiple problems. Here, an asymptomatic case is reported with an incident diagnosis. No interventions were planned upon the patient's request. It should be kept in mind that any kind of anomalies can be seen during venous access and neck surgery.

“…Patients with JVT may need to be on long-term oral anticoagulation therapy. Treatment of the underlying malignancy is the most definitive therapy, but usually in these particular diseases is also unsuccessful (28). We started low-weight molecular heparin for both cases, then, treatment was continued with oral anticoagulation.…”

Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis Two Different Etiologies

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Internal Jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare entity. It is usually secondary to various etiologies such as catheter, malignancy, trauma, infection and hypercoagulable status. Associated malignancies, either known or occult, are also uncommon and not well documented in the etiology of IJV thrombosis. We reported IJV thrombosis with two different pathologies i.e. malignacy and congestive heart failure. The diagnosis of IJV thrombosis was established with Doppler ultrasound and CT scan. These patients were treated low-molecular-weight heparin and oral anticoagulation. Early diagnosis and appropriate management is important to prevent potentially fatal complications from internal jugular vein thrombosis.
