Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis

Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare entity. It is usually secondary to various etiologies such as ovarian hyperstimulation, deep vein thrombosis of upper limbs, venous catheter, malignancy, trauma, infection, and neck surgery and hypercoagulable status. We report an unusual case of internal jugular vein thrombosis with cerebral sinus thrombosis, postpartum in a 22-year-old female patient who presented with a painful swelling on the left side of her neck. Diagnosis was established by color Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance venography. Thorough evaluation of the patient revealed no etiological factor leading to thrombosis. Patient was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin.

Background Experimental results suggest that the competence of the internal jugular vein (IJV) valve may be damaged when the IJV is cannulated for insertion of a central venous catheter. It has further been hypothesized that the risk of causing incompetence of the proximally located valve might be reduced by using a more distal site for venous cannulation. The present study evaluated these hypotheses in surgical patients. Methods Ninety-one patients without preexisting incompetence of the IJV valve were randomly assigned to undergo distal or proximal IJV cannulation (> or = 1 cm above or below the cricoid level, respectively). Color Doppler ultrasound was used to study whether new valvular incompetence was present during Valsalva maneuvers after insertion of a central venous catheter, immediately after removal of the catheter, and, in a subset of patients, several months after catheter removal, when compared with baseline findings before cannulation of the IJV. Results Incompetence of the IJV valve was frequently induced both by proximal and distal cannulation and catheterization of the IJV. Its incidence was higher after proximal than after distal cannulation (76% vs. 41%; P < 0.01) and tended to be so after removal of the catheter (47% vs. 28%; P = 0.07). Valvular incompetence persisting immediately after removal of the catheter did not recover within 8-27 months in most cases. Conclusions Cannulation and catheterization of the IJV may cause persistent incompetence of the IJV valve. Choosing a more distal site for venous cannulation may slightly lower the risk of causing valvular incompetence but does not reliably avoid it.

The objectives were to analyze the Internal Jugular vein entrapment caused by muscles compression and the possible role and correlation in Mèniére disease. We describe the eco-color Doppler evaluation of a sternocleidomastoid and omohyoid muscles compression of internal jugular vein in a Mèniére patient, responsible of an anomalous venous cerebral and ear outflow. The proposed treatment was a three months muscolar decontractration physiotherapy program. The physiotherapy session allowed a complete muscles relaxation with an improvement of Internal Jugular vein caliber associated to a normalized cerebral and inner ear venous outflow and a progressive attenuation of Mèniére symptoms during the treatment and its disappearance at the end of the physiotherapy program. The comfort of the patient was confirmed during one-year follow-up. Muscles entrapment of Internal Jugular veins may be correlated with an anomalous cerebral and inner ear venous outflow, promoting the Mèniére disease symptoms. Physiotherapy treatment may represent an intriguing option alternatively of muscle surgical. The present case seems to indicate a possible first line treatment by physiotherapy, reserving surgical resection to not responders. Further studies with a wider sample of patients are warranted.

Background: Internal jugular vein is considered the preferred site of insertion.Prevalence of central vein stenosis following temporary double lumen catheterization at differentsites seems to be different in Asian countries. Objectives: To evaluate the number of cases havingcatheterization and stenosis after being subjected to central vein catheterization (CVC) amongPakistani population. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Period: 6 months period. Setting:Admitted in the Department of Nephrology or already undergoing maintenance hemodialysisfulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Material and Method: The samplewhich was considered suitable for this study was 150 cases after checking the inclusion criteriacarefully. The patients were advised to undergo color Doppler ultrasonography of IJV and SCVof both sides. Demographics and outcome variables were noted and recorded for the analysispurposes. Data was analyzed used SPSS 20.inc Results: The frequency of catheterization ofcatherization at IJV was found to be 128(85.3%) and frequency of catheterization at SCV was22(14.7%). The frequency of CVS at IJV was found to be 43(29.68%) and the frequency of CVSat SCV was 81(54.54%). The frequency of stenosis at SCV was found to be significantly higherwith a p value of 0.029 (<0.05). Conclusion: Internal jugular vein is the most frequent andpreferred site of temporary double lumen catheterization for haemodialysis as it is associatedwith significantly lower rate of stenosis as compared to subclavian vein.
