Internal jugular vein ectasia is a condition in which there is a dilatation of the internal jugular vein. A patient usually presents in the first decade with swelling in the neck, which aggravates in size while straining or coughing. This is a very rare condition and the chances of misdiagnosis are quite high. It is diagnosed by proper history taking, examination, and radiological study.
We reported the case of a seven-year-old female presenting with right-sided swelling in the neck aggravating in size while straining or coughing. Regular follow-up was advised. Swelling regression was observed after one year of follow-up without any surgical treatment.
This is a self-limiting condition and usually the treatment is not warranted. Regular follow-up is advised for the patient.
颈内静脉扩张是一种颈内静脉出现扩张的病症。患者通常在第一个十年出现颈部肿胀，在用力或咳嗽时肿胀会增大。这是一种非常罕见的病症，误诊的几率相当高。它通过适当的病史采集、检查和影像学研究来诊断。
我们报告了一名七岁女性的病例，该患者右侧颈部肿胀，在用力或咳嗽时肿胀增大。建议进行定期随访。随访一年后观察到肿胀消退，未进行任何手术治疗。
这是一种自限性病症，通常无需治疗。建议对患者进行定期随访。
