title: Phlebectasia of the jugular system.
abstract: Developmental anomalies of the internal jugular system are rare. Phlebectasia of the jugular system is an abnormal fusiform dilatation which is seldom described in the literature. We present five cases of jugular phlebectasia in the neck. It is of interest to note the symptomatology which was different in each of these cases.
