Postoperative recurrence and metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) to the superior vena cava (SVC) right atrium (RA) are rare. The application Extracorporeal Jugular-femoral Vein Bypass anesthesia management for SVC reconstruction in this rare situation holds instructive significance. In case, we describe successful a patient with multiple tumor thrombi due postoperative PTC. diagnosi...

conclusions noninvasive assessment of the patient hydration condition using the ultrasound is a simple and practicable measure in emergency. with regard to the considerations, it is possible to estimate cvp via diameter measurement and cross-section of the central veins. results twenty patients with the mean age of 60.3 were studied. the main reason for cardiac catheterization was shock. there ...

An unusual case of internal jugular vein thrombosis is reported. A 73-year-old woman complained of swelling and pain in the left neck. Computed tomography with contrast enhancement and angiography demonstrated the characteristic features of the left internal jugular vein thrombosis. The patient's neck swelling subsided after antibiotic therapy. The literature of internal jugular vein thrombosis...

BACKGROUND Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare vascular event with a potentially fatal outcome. Of the known etiologies, internal malignancies, either known or occult, are well described. Even though malignancies are known to present with internal jugular vein thrombosis, it rarely occurs due to prostate carcinoma. Many cases of jugular vein and superior vena cava thrombosis secondary to...

True and false aneurysmas (pseudoaneurysmas) of veins are very rare conditions. We present the case of a 58 year old woman with a progressive spheric enlargement with pusatile character of the right laterocervical area. Ultrasonography established the diagnosis showing the vascular mass with turbulent flow belonging to the external jugular vein and the communication with the internal jugular ve...

Venous aneurysms are rare causes of neck mass. Among neck veins, aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely uncommon. We present a case of a woman with a history of prior internal jugular vein catheterization who presented at a rural primary health care unit with a nontender progressively enlarging swelling in the right supraclavicular region. B-mode and Doppler ultrasound examination...

The external jugular vein, which traverses the sternocleidomastoid muscle superficially, is known to exhibit variations in its formation and course. There are less reports on the communication of the external and internal jugular vein. During routine cadaveric dissection, we detected an abnormal communication of the external jugular vein and the internal jugular vein, in a 45 year male cadaver....

Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a serious event with potentially fatal outcome, where the clinical symptoms may be vague or absent. This paper refers to a rare case where routine carotid Doppler ultrasound prior to coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR) in a 76-year-old man, incidentally revealed thrombosis of the right internal jugular vein. Thoracic CT d...

External jugular vein aneurysm with thrombosis presenting as neck swelling is a rare clinical entity and rarely encountered in routine clinical practice. We present a case of a 45-year-old female with external jugular vein aneurysm presenting as a painful lump in the neck. Ultrasound of the neck and CT angiography showed saccular dilation of the lower end of the external jugular vein with throm...

BACKGROUND The current study aims to compare the application and convenience of the upper arm port with the other two methods of implanted ports in the jugular vein and the subclavian vein in patients with gastrointestinal cancers. METHODS Currently, the standard of practice is placement of central venous access via an internal jugular vein approach. Perioperative time, postoperative complica...
