Abstract

Congenital jugular vein aneurysm in an adult patient is a rare condition. A 17-year-old patient presented to the authors' clinic with left neck swelling. The clinical and radiological findings were appropriate with the internal jugular vein aneurysm. The authors detailed their experience in the surgical treatment of this true saccular aneurysm. Jugular venous aneurysm is a rare benign venous pathology and it can be easily confused with other neck pathologies. Its surgical excision can be sometimes difficult and troublesome than expected.
