Abstract
Abstract
Venous aneurysm of external jugular vein is very rare clinical entity. Often asymptomatic, the diagnosis may be suggested by clinical features and is usually confirmed by imaging. Surgical excision is indicated in symptomatic aneurysms and for esthetic reasons, other treatments such as endovascular treatment are being evaluated. We report a case of a 27-year-old woman with a saccular aneurysm of the right external jugular vein diagnosed by computerized tomogram angiography. The patient received successful surgical treatment.
