Spontaneous external jugular vein pseudoaneurysm treated by thrombin injection: Case report and literature review

Sebahat N Dogan et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

Although external jugular vein (EJV) aneurysms are infrequent, regardless of etiology, spontaneous pseudoaneurysms (PAs) are extremely rare and generally require surgery. We describe a case of spontaneous PA of the EJV, which was successfully treated by percutaneous thrombin injection.

Keywords: external jugular vein; pseudoaneurysm; thrombin; ultrasonography.
