Abstract
Internal jugular phlebectasia is a non-tortuous abnormal dilation of the internal jugular vein that presents as a cervical mass with a saccular or fusiform aneurysmal appearance, more common in male pediatric patients. The etiologies include congenital, cervical trauma, tumors, and previous surgeries. The clinical picture is generally asymptomatic. In symptomatic cases, the most common complaint is pain in the affected cervical area. The diagnosis is established through viewing the dilation triggered by increased intrathoracic pressure in actions such as coughing or crying and is complemented by imaging studies such as Doppler ultrasounds and computed tomography scans. Therapeutic management is typically conservative, with surgical intervention reserved for cases with symptoms or complications.
