[Down-hill varicose veins in struma permagna and unilateral hypoplasia of the internal jugular vein].
A barium oesophagogram of a 69-year old woman suffering from dyspnoea, episodes of suffocation and dysphagea because of massive struma, showed multiple uniform nodular filling defects in the upper oesophageal relief corresponding to downhill varices. In CT scan and MRT additionally a pathogenetic relevant hypoplasia of the right internal jugular vein was evident.
