  • Title: Phlebectasia of left anterior jugular vein.
    Author: Uzun C, Taskinalp O, Koten M, Adali MK, Karasalihoglu AR, Pekindil G.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1999 Sep; 113(9):858-60. PubMed ID: 10664697.
    Abstract:
    We present a rare case of unilateral phlebectasia of the anterior jugular vein in a 56-year-old male patient whose complaint is a neck swelling that appears during talking. Although in this age group the most common cause of such a mass in the anterior aspect of the neck increasing in size during any type of straining or Valsalva manoeuvre is a laryngocele, phlebectasia of the anterior jugular vein should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Doppler ultrasound and computed tomography are the most useful and non-invasive methods to use for the investigation. Treatment should be conservative.
