[A pulsating swelling in the neck].
This 56-year-old male patient came to our emergency ward because of a painless pulsation on his left neck. The clinical examination revealed an irregular pulse and a systolic murmur praecordially. In further diagnostic procedures the diagnosis of a severe tricuspidal insufficiency could be confirmed. In the history of the patient there was a motorcycle accident with blunt chest trauma which had to be considered as cause of the lesion.
