Multidetector CT findings of an extraordinary fenestration of the internal jugular vein.
Fenestration of the internal jugular vein is a rare malformation. Herein, the     authors describe an extreme fenestration of the left internal jugular vein. This     anomaly was found incidentally in a 47-year-old male patient undergoing     multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) imaging and MDCT angiography evaluation     for vertebral artery injury due to cervical trauma. MDCT angiography showed the     presence of an extremely large fenestration in the left internal jugular vein.
