Abstract

Ectasia of external jugular vein is a rare entity presenting as an intermittent neck swelling. High index of suspicion is required to diagnose the condition. Ultrasonography with Doppler before, during and after valsalva manoeuvre is the preferred method for diagnosis. The treatment is conservative for asymptomatic patients and surgery is reserved for patients with complications.
