“…Preoperative diagnosis is crucial for identifying structures with anatomical variations. Abakay et al reported the importance of ultrasonographic investigation, as they were able to detect fenestration of the IJV using ultrasonography [ 16 ]. Hashimoto et al and Towbin et al reported that IJV fenestrations were able to observe on contrast-enhanced CT imaging [ 10 , 17 ].…”

Neck dissection (ND) is a major surgery for head and neck cancer. Currently, some or all of the spinal accessory nerve (SAN), sternocleidomastoid muscle, and internal jugular vein (IJV) are aggressively preserved during ND to reduce postoperative complications. Since the anatomical relationship between the SAN and IJV has several variations, knowledge of these variations is necessary to avoid iatrogenic damage. In the present case, the SAN was observed to pass through the fenestrated IJV at the level of the posterior belly of the digastric muscle during ND in a patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the mandible. Although the anatomical structure of the SAN and IJV is rare, surgeons must be aware of this anatomical variation.

“…Another study showed that in two of the three patients, SAN bisected the fenestration, while one SAN ran medial to the fenestration [33]. Surgeons must consider the variant relationship and determine the location of the SAN in relation to the variant IJV preoperatively by USG to avoid damage to the SAN during neck dissections [1,3].…”

“…Developmental abnormalities may result in a variety of anatomical variations, which range from complete agenesis to duplication [120]. In a study of 1197 patients, there were 40 total variations found, which included bifurcation (4), duplication (14), fenestration (16), trifurcation (1), and posterior tributary (5) [83].…”

“…As demonstrated by Towbin and Kanal, who reported two cases of IJV fenestration identified through CTA (33). Additionally, a non-invasive imaging technique such as doppler ultrasound has been used to identify these variations, although it is not widely practiced (29,35). However, despite the ability to identify these anomalies through contrast-enhanced CT imaging, it is only mentioned in seldom cases, thus reflecting the lack of attention paid to the venous system in the setting of a pathologic adenopathy.…”
