Phlebectasia of the Right Internal Jugular Vein

Phlebectasia is described as an anomalous, fusiform dilatation of the vein. In the neck, the internal and external jugular veins are mostly affected. We describe a 32-year-old gentleman who presented with complaints of swelling in the right side of neck for 6 months and was diagnosed to have phlebectasia on the computed tomography venogram. The patient was taken up for exploration and excision of the diseased segment. Internal jugular phlebectasia is a rare disorder, especially in adults which is often diagnosed during childhood. In this case report, we describe a case of this disorder and its successful management along with a brief review of the current literature.
