Embolisation of External Jugular Vein Aneurysm: A Case Report

Area of Science:

• Vascular Surgery
• Interventional Radiology
• Vascular Medicine

Background:

• Venous aneurysms are rare compared to arterial aneurysms.
• Management strategies for venous aneurysms remain debated.
• Jugular vein aneurysms are uncommon vascular malformations.

Observation:

• A case report details a teenage male patient with a left external jugular vein aneurysm.
• The patient underwent an endovascular treatment approach.
• Access was achieved via femoral vein and direct puncture techniques.

Findings:

• Endovascular embolization using pushable microcoils was performed.
• The procedure successfully occluded the venous aneurysm.
• The technique allowed for evaluation of venous drainage during occlusion.

Implications:

• Endovascular treatment presents a less-invasive alternative for venous aneurysms.
• This method allows for precise assessment of the venous abnormality.
• It facilitates evaluation of venous drainage patterns during aneurysm occlusion.
