Evidence Based Management of Spontaneous Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis: A Literature Review
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare but potentially fatal condition. First described in 1912 as a complication of peritonsillar abscess [1] it is now known to have a varied aetiology. The leading cause of IJV thrombosis is the use of the IJV for venous access [2] and central venous catheterization. Other causes include oropharyngeal infection (Lemierre Syndrome), deep neck space infection and trauma. It can also occur as a complication of head and neck malignancy, and rarely can be the first manifestation of the disease. On other occasions a specific aetiology is never found.
