| Popis: | Venous dilatation in the absence of varicose vein of the lower extremities is a rare disease. A case of venous aneurysm of the external jugular vein is reported.The case was a 49-year-old female who was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of a tumor on the right side of the neck. The soft tumor 3×2 cm in size was palpable on the right side of the neck. MR angiography revealed a venous aneurysm of external jugular vein with thrombus formation. The venous aneurysm was excised under general anesthesia. The operative findings well coincided with those of MR angiography. Histopathologic examination revealed a thinned venous wall, structural anomaly of venous muscle and intimal thickness in part.The MR angiography is non-invasive and able to provide more accurate information about the peripheral vascular diseases. |
