title: [Bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis following treatment of laryngeal carcinoma--a case report].
abstract: The authors present the case of bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis, which was diagnosed in a patient after combined therapy (surgery and radiotherapy) because of laryngeal carcinoma. Thrombosis is the frequent complication and the second largest death cause from neoplasms. In review of the literature the cases of bilateral internal jugular vein thrombosis are uncommon. Jugular vein thrombosis has previously been reported in association with deep head and neck infections, sepsis, central vein catherization and the neck injuries. Because of that the presented case of internal jugular vein thrombosis seems to be interesting.
