Abstract:
External jugular vein thrombosis is an infrequent disease that has been associated with altered blood flow, vascular endothelium lesion or a hypercoagulable state. It could be originated from phlebectasia, but very rare. It could be diagnosed with detailed history taking, when patients had no specific previous history of intervention or treatment. The authors report a case of external jugular vein thrombosis originated from phlebectasia without risk factor. This patient was successfully managed by ligation and excision of the vein without any complications.
