Computed tomography of internal jugular vein thrombosis.
Thrombosis of the internal jugular vein was diagnosed by computed tomography in two cases. On contrast computed tomography, the thrombosed vein appeared as an enlarged vein containing a low density lumen surrounded by a sharply defined wall. This entity should be looked for whenever a patient is examined by computed tomography for acute cervical swelling or inflammatory ear disease.
