title: Computed tomography of internal jugular vein thrombosis.
abstract: 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.
