Phlebectasia of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is an unusual vascular anomaly, particularly in paediatric patients. Here, we present a case of IJV phlebectasia of a girl in her early childhood, highlighting its clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and management. The patient presented with a painless, non-pulsatile neck mass, which was identified as an enlarged IJV on imaging studies. Since it is a benign condition, and the patient is asymptomatic, observation with regular monitoring is advised.
颈内静脉静脉瘤（IJV）是一种不常见的血管畸形，特别是在儿科患者中。在此，我们报告了一例幼年女孩的 IJV 静脉瘤病例，重点介绍了其临床表现、诊断方法和治疗。患者表现为无痛、非搏动性颈部肿块，影像学检查显示为 IJV 增大。由于这是一种良性疾病，且患者无症状，建议观察并定期监测。
