Abstract:
Venous aneurysms of the upper extremity have rarely been reported. A 78-year-old woman presented with swelling, discomfort, and mild tenderness on the medial side of the right elbow. Ultrasonography showed a 2.1 × 1.8 cm dilated structure connected to the basilic vein. Because a venous pseudoaneurysm was suspected and the patient had discomfort and mild tenderness, aneurysm excision and venous reconstruction were performed under local anesthesia. Histopathological examination confirmed a true venous aneurysm. The postoperative course was uneventful, with complete symptom resolution and no recurrence at 6 months.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
