Kondo et al. (2004) conducted a case report in Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis (n=3). Antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy was evaluated on Thrombus resolution and occurrence of pulmonary embolism. In three cases of internal jugular vein thrombosis treated with antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy, none developed pulmonary embolism, and the thrombus disappeared in one patient.
