External Jugular Vein Pseudo - Aneurysm: A Rare Case of Neck Mass
Dr. Ritu Makwana, Dr. Kuldeep Dangar, Dr. Pinal Mehta, Dr. Ashwin Gadhavi
Abstract: External jugular vein aneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities characterized by a localized dilation of the vein. These aneurysms are usually asymptomatic and may present as a soft, compressible neck mass that becomes more prominent with straining or physical activity. While typically benign, the condition can occasionally be associated with pain or cosmetic concerns. Diagnosis is often confirmed through imaging modalities such as Doppler ultrasound, CT, or MRI. Although conservative management is appropriate for most cases, surgical intervention may be considered in cases of significant symptoms or cosmetic deformity. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management strategies for external jugular vein aneurysms based on current literature.
