  • Title: Empty fenestration of the internal jugular vein: a rare phenomenon.
    Author: Pegot A, Guichard B, Peron JM, Trost O.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2015 Jan; 53(1):78-80. PubMed ID: 25277644.
    Abstract:
    Though there are common variations of the internal jugular vein (IJV), fenestrations are extremely rare. The lateral branch of the accessory nerve classically goes through the fenestration. We report a case of an empty fenestration of the IJV that was discovered during clearance of cervical lymph nodes. Original operative and radiographic images are shown.
