Venous aneurysms of the jugular vein are one of the rare causes of neck swelling, and primary venous aneurysms of the external jugular vein are extremely rare. A 46-year-old woman presented with a painless and suddenly growing mass in the left neck. A computed tomography angiography revealed a fusiform venous aneurysm of the external jugular vein containing intraluminal thrombus. We performed resection of the aneurysm and ligation of the external jugular vein. Removal of the aneurysm of the neck vein was necessary because venous aneurysms with thrombosis may lead to serious thrombotic complications such as pulmonary embolism.
颈静脉的静脉瘤是颈部肿胀的罕见原因之一，而颈外静脉的原发性静脉瘤极为罕见。一名46岁女性因左颈部出现无痛且突然增大的肿块前来就诊。计算机断层血管造影显示颈外静脉有一个梭形静脉瘤，腔内有血栓形成。我们进行了动脉瘤切除术并结扎了颈外静脉。由于伴有血栓形成的静脉瘤可能导致严重的血栓并发症，如肺栓塞，因此有必要切除颈部静脉的动脉瘤。
