“…Jugular venous aneurysm or jugular phlebectasia is the most commonly encountered venous malformation involving the neck veins in people. As a primary venous aneurysm is usually asymptomatic, the indications for surgery include the risk of thrombus formation due to stagnant venous blood in these lesions, risk of rupture, progressive expansion or disfiguring involving cosmetic considerations, as was the case in our patient (Calligaro et al 1995; Andreev et al 1998; Verma et al 2013; Kim et al 2016; Neto et al 2016).…”

Venous anomalies of the jugular vein are uncommon in the horse. Jugular venous aneurysms (congenital or pseudoaneurysm) in horses usually present as a compressible asymptomatic cervical mass enlarging on manual congestion of the jugular vein. They can be classified into primary (congenital) and acquired lesions. Primary venous aneurysms are true venous aneurysms because in these lesions the venous wall is intact, whereas false or pseudoaneurysm has a disruption of the inner layers of the venous wall. Two types of jugular vein aneurysm can be identified, fusiform or saccular, the former being the most common in people. Doppler ultrasound imaging confirms the diagnosis. Surgical treatment, aneurysmectomy with venorraphy or venoplasty is indicated in case of progressive aneurysmal expansion. This clinical commentary describes a 4‐month‐old foal presented with a primary aneurysm of the right jugular vein in the midcervial region. Treatment consisted of partial aneurysmectomy and venorraphy. Four years later, the horse had a patent jugular vein with a normal diameter and was trained without clinical signs of venous distension.

“…Differential diagnosis in an adult includes lymph node enlargement, laryngocele, thyroid lesion, thyroglossal/dermoid/branchial cysts, lipoma, cavernous hemangioma, pharyngeal pouch, malignant transformation of a neck cyst, and metastases from squamous cell carcinoma. 1-3,5-9,12,16…”

“…The most important complications of venous aneurysms include thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and rupture. 3-5 Although these are rare, these risks should be taken into consideration. A recently documented reported of pulmonary thromboembolism caused by an aneurysm of the external jugular vein shows that these aneurysms may not be as innocent as previously thought.…”

Saccular Aneurysm of the External Jugular Vein: An Unusual Cause of a Neck Mass

Venous aneurysms are rare cause of neck masses. Among neck veins, external jugular vein aneurysms are incredibly uncommon. We, herein, report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a non-tender, non-pulsatile, progressively enlarging mass in the left supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination showed a saccular dilatation of the external jugular vein. Saccular aneurysms of the external jugular vein are uncommon, and serious complications are rarely encountered. Ultrasonography with color flow duplex imaging can allow early detection of such venous aneurysms of the neck making the other imaging methods unnecessary.
