Congenital internal and external jugular venous aneurysms in a child.
A 2-year-old boy presented with varices and a neck mass. Imaging studies revealed internal jugular vein aneurysm. Gradual increasing of the mass, potential thrombus formation and cosmetical considerations were indications for surgery. At surgery aneurysms of both the external and internal jugular veins were found and resected.
