Jugular phlebectasia is a rare cause of cervical swelling in children. It is a fusiform dilatation of any part of the jugular venous system and can involve the external, internal or anterior jugular veins. Previous reports suggest that the entity is often ignored or misdiagnosed. Unilateral internal jugular phlebactasia presenting as an intermittent neck swelling in a ten-year-old girl is reported. The clinical features are analyzed and the appropriate use of noninvasive imaging modalities is highlighted. The literature is also briefly reviewed.
颈静脉扩张是儿童颈部肿胀的罕见原因。它是颈静脉系统任何部位的梭形扩张，可累及颈外静脉、颈内静脉或颈前静脉。既往报道提示该病症常被忽视或误诊。本文报道了一例10岁女孩以间歇性颈部肿胀为表现的单侧颈内静脉扩张病例。分析了其临床特征，并强调了无创成像方式的合理应用。同时对相关文献也进行了简要回顾。
