Abstract

Spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is an extremely rare, potentially life-threatening vascular disorder that is easily overlooked or misdiagnosed. In this paper we present a patient with spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis diagnosed by colour doppler ultrasonography(USG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). No malignancy, coagulation disorder, or any infection was demonstrable. The patient refused any intervetion and further diagnostic evaluation. Six months later symptoms and signs were diminished spontaneously.

Özet

Spontan internal juguler ven trombozu (IJVT) oldukça nadir, potansiyel hayatı tehdit edici, kolaylıkla gözden kaçabilen veya yanlış tanı konulabilen vasküler bir rahatsızlıktır. Bu makalede malignensi, koagülasyon bozukluğu veya herhangi bir enfeksiyon kaynağı saptanamayan, renkli doppler ultrasonografi (USG) ve manyetik rezonans inceleme (MRI) ile tanısı konulan spontan IJVT’lu bir vakayı sunuyoruz. Daha ileri tetkik ve tedavi önerilerini reddeden hastada altı ay içinde herhangi bir komplikasyon gelişmedi ve yakınmanın geçtiği belirtildi.
