Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis

Internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis is a rare entity. It is usually secondary to various etiologies such as ovarian hyperstimulation, deep vein thrombosis of upper limbs, venous catheter, malignancy, trauma, infection, and neck surgery and hypercoagulable status. We report an unusual case of internal jugular vein thrombosis with cerebral sinus thrombosis, postpartum in a 22-year-old female patient who presented with a painful swelling on the left side of her neck. Diagnosis was established by color Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance venography. Thorough evaluation of the patient revealed no etiological factor leading to thrombosis. Patient was treated with low-molecular-weight heparin.

Haemorrhagic Infarction

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon disease entity. In contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance venography (MRV) images of the brain, CVST usually manifests as a filling defect of the dural venous sinuses. Brain parenchymal involvement in CVST can be ranged from parenchymal oedema to haemorrhagic infarctions. Though the most frequent cause of haemorrhagic infarction in brain is CVST, other rare causes such as cerebral venous outflow obstruction due to neck vein pathology have been reported. We report a rare case of haemorrhagic brain infarctions secondary to bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis in a 17-year-old woman, who has presented with worsening headache and seizures. She had high susceptibility of getting venous thrombosis for being a young female on oral contraceptive pills. While reporting a rare cause of cerebral haemorrhagic infarctions, this case report highlights the need for having a high degree of suspicion to diagnose CVST. Further, this case report emphasises the value of prompt and adequate imaging of neck veins if the haemorrhagic infarction presents with patent cerebral venous sinuses.

Rate Of Success

Frequently patients are started on hemodialysis after the placement of a central venous catheter (temporary or tunneled) in the internal jugular vein (IJV). Currenty this procedure is facilitated by ultrasound probes that improve the rate of success of catheter placement in vessels and diminishes the possible complications, minimizing the gap between nephrologists with wide surgical expertise and those with limited surgical experience. Stenosis and thrombosis of the subclavia vein are well documented complications derived from the placement of the venous catheter. Internal jugular vein thrombosis is not seen very often due to scarce clinical evidence. In our paper we have been able to systematically document various extrinsic thrombotic complications outside the central venous catheter, by use of ultrasound (periluminar or related to the vessel).
