Purpose: To report our experience with transfemoral direct venous thrombolysis and angioplasty to treat central venous and dural sinus occlusion. The cases presented are rare examples of internal jugular occlusion associated with sigmoid sinus thrombosis. Methods and Results: Two middle-aged, symptomatic female patients were diagnosed with sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein thrombosis. Venography was performed from a contralateral transfemoral approach, followed immediately by urokinase infusion directly to the occlusion using an intermittent “burst-bolus” technique. Successful thrombolysis of the sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein was documented in both patients. In one case, a venous stenosis was treated with balloon angioplasty. Clinical signs and symptoms resolved in both patients. Conclusions: Occluded dural sinuses and central veins can be treated with direct administration of thrombolytic agents. When an underlying stenosis is identified, balloon dilation should be used to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

AbstractObjective:To report a superior sagittal sinus thrombosis occurring as a rare complication of neck dissection, and to present a review of published literature.Case report:A 42-year-old man underwent an elective neck dissection for a tumour stage 2, node stage 2b, tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma, prior to chemoradiotherapy. During surgery, the right internal jugular vein was sacrificed as part of the resection, as tumour was adherent to it. Two weeks after surgery, the patient was readmitted with seizures. Subsequent computed tomography and magnetic resonance venography confirmed a superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. The patient was subsequently anticoagulated and underwent radiotherapy without further complication. A review of pre-operative imaging indicated a dominant internal jugular vein, ligation of which may have been a factor in the subsequent sagittal sinus thrombosis.Conclusion:Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis following neck dissection is a rare occurrence, with little reported in the literature. Dominant internal jugular vein anatomy may be evident on pre-operative imaging. An awareness of this complication may be helpful to surgeons contemplating sacrifice of the internal jugular vein.

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.

Lemierre's Syndrome

Lemierre’s syndrome is a rare multisystemic infection beginning in oropharynx commonly caused by oral anaerobic organisms and leading to internal jugular vein thrombosis with septic emboli. Here, we describe a 45-year-old woman with hypertension and unrecognised type 2 diabetes who presented to a community hospital with fever, double vision and septic shock. Examination showed neck pain aggravated by neck flexion, limited ocular movement of right lateral rectus, left medial rectus and left superior oblique and incomplete ptosis of the left eye. These symptoms were suggestive of bilateral cavernous sinus syndrome. CT of the brain showed bilateral proximal internal jugular vein and cavernous sinus thrombosis. CT angiography revealed septic emboli at both upper lungs. The patient had good improvement of neurological symptoms after dental extraction, intravenous antibiotic and anticoagulant.
