Abstract
Methods Our case was a 68 year-old male. On the coronary angiography, which was performed with the complaint of chest pain, three-vessel disease was detected and the patient was hospitalized for surgery. Routine bilateral carotid colored duplex ultrasonography revealed 70% stenosis in the proximal segment of right internal carotid artery (ICA). Provided that, he was undertaken to carotid angiography and 75% stenosis was seen in the right ICA.
Highlights
Giant fusiform internal jugular venous aneurysmal dilatation diagnosed coincidentally during right carotid endarterectomy combined with coronary bypass surgery
Venous aneuysmal dilatation or flebectasia or venous congenital cyst is a benign pathology which represents an abnormal dilatation of a vein and it is frequently seen with the improvements in non-invasive diagnostic methods of laryngeal and cervical diseases
As right sternocleidomastoid muscle was carefully dissected for exploration of common carotid artery (CCA), huge fusiform aneurysmal internal jugular vein was confronted
Summary
Venous aneuysmal dilatation or flebectasia (venous ectasia) or venous congenital cyst is a benign pathology which represents an abnormal dilatation of a vein and it is frequently seen with the improvements in non-invasive diagnostic methods of laryngeal and cervical diseases
