Omohyoid Muscle

Objectives: To evaluate the role of the omohyoid muscle anatomic variants as a possible reversible cause of internal jugular vein extrinsic compression. Method: We describe a chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency patient, who presented a omohyoid muscle entrapment of the internal jugular vein, confirmed by both magnetic resonance venography and ultrasound investigation. A omohyoid muscle surgical transection together with a patch angioplasty was performed. Results: The surgical procedure led to both IJV flow restoration and neurological improvement. Conclusions: The omohyoid muscle compression on the internal jugular vein seems to be a possible cause of venous obstruction, but several anatomical and patho-physiological aspects need further investigations. Such picture might cause balloon venous angioplasty inefficacy and needs to be preoperatively considered.

Intravenous Antibiotics

Acute septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein (IJV), better known as Lemierre syndrome, is a rare entity which poses several challenges in management. Treatment involves prompt use of intravenous antibiotics over a prolonged period of time, typically 6–8 weeks. The use of anticoagulation is controversial, but indicated for some. We describe the first reported case of Lemierre syndrome associated with a hypercoagulable state in an adult. We propose that all patients with Lemierre syndrome should be evaluated for hypercoagulable states and that the indications for anticoagulation in Lemierre syndrome are (1) propagation or nonresolution of IJV thrombus despite antibiotics and (2) identification of a hypercoagulable state, as in our case.
