S. Britel*, M. A. Jahidi, M. Zoulati and F. Benariba
ABSTRACT
Venous aneurysms are rare, especially in the extern jugular vein. The key to the diagnosis is the Doppler ultrasonography, even though it could be difficult to establish especially if it is thrombosed, like it was the case for our patient. We report a case of a 60 year old patient who presented for a painless lateral cervical mass, laboratory test were non specific and the thrombosed extern jugular vein aneurysm was discovered during explorative surgery.
