Abstract
- The diagnosis of internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT), a vascular disorder, can be easily overlooked. Disruption of blood flow through the internal jugular vein can take place in a variety of clinical settings. CT and ultrasonography are useful diagnostic tools. Recently, we experienced a case of IJVT after deep neck infection. This case showed sore throat, odynophagia and swelling of right submandibular area. CT scan revealed diffuse neck swelling and incomplete occlusion of the right internal jugular vein at the thyroid level. Treatment began with antibiotics and hydration. We present a case of IJVT after deep neck infection with literature review.
