  • Title: Case series: Internal jugular vein ectasia in pediatric patients.
    Author: Patel NA, Shinhar S.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2016 Jan; 95(1):E33-5. PubMed ID: 26829692.
    Abstract:
    Jugular vein ectasia is a dilation of the vein without tortuosity. This finding can easily be misdiagnosed or overlooked. Because of its rarity, many pediatricians, otolaryngologists, and pediatric surgeons are unfamiliar with this diagnosis and how to manage it. We report a series of 2 cases of internal jugular vein ectasia in pediatric patients and discuss its clinical findings, simple and noninvasive method of diagnosis, and treatment.
