Neck phlebectasia, a rare venous anomaly, presents as a neck mass. This study reports three cases, including an extremely rare anterior facial vein involvement, and reviews clinical and diagnostic aspects.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Congenital Anomalies

Background:

  • Neck phlebectasia is a rare venous system anomaly, often congenital.
  • It typically presents as a neck mass, exacerbated by maneuvers like the Valsalva maneuver.
  • While commonly affecting the jugular system, it can involve other cervicofacial veins.

Observation:

  • This paper details three cases of neck phlebectasia.
  • One case involved the anterior facial vein, an exceptionally rare presentation with no prior literature references.
  • The study reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and therapeutic strategies for this condition.

Findings:

  • The study highlights the varied locations of neck phlebectasia, emphasizing the rarity of anterior facial vein involvement.

  • It underscores the importance of diagnostic imaging in identifying these venous anomalies.
  • Clinical and therapeutic management strategies are discussed based on the reported cases and literature review.

    • Implications:

    • This research expands the understanding of neck phlebectasia, particularly its rare manifestations.
    • It provides valuable insights for clinicians in diagnosing and managing this uncommon condition.
    • The findings contribute to the literature on venous anomalies and their clinical significance.
