    External jugular venous thrombosis can occur due to misplaced central venous catheters. Computed tomography effectively diagnoses this condition, showing vein enlargement and thrombosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Central venous catheterization is a common medical procedure.
    • Complications such as venous thrombosis can arise from catheter placement.
    • External jugular vein thrombosis is a rare but potential complication.

    Observation:

    • A case of external jugular venous thrombosis was identified.
    • The thrombosis was secondary to the misplacement of a central venous catheter.
    • The patient presented with symptoms related to the venous thrombosis.

    Findings:

    • Computed tomography (CT) revealed an enlarged external jugular vein.
    • Central thrombosis within the external jugular vein was observed.
    • Enhancement of the vessel wall indicated inflammation or active thrombosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare complication of central venous catheterization.
    • Computed tomography is a valuable tool for diagnosing external jugular venous thrombosis.
    • Awareness of this complication is crucial for preventing and managing catheter-related venous issues.
