In head and neck reconstructions, venous anastomosis of the free flap to the internal jugular vein system is a common procedure. However, in some cases, postoperative complications such as internal jugular vein thrombosis can occur. In this report, we present a case where postoperative internal jugular vein thrombosis was identified after venous anastomosis of the free flap to the internal jugular vein system. In this case, preserving the external jugular vein allowed for retrograde flow of venous blood in the internal jugular vein to enter the external jugular vein, serving as an alternative drainage pathway...

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is an obstruction of the venous return through the superior vena cava (SVC) or any other significant branches. The obstruction may be external, like thoracic mass compressing the SVC, or internal, like thrombosis or tumor, which directly invades the SVC. Patients experiencing a medical emergency after being initially stabilized require treatment for SVCS, including endovenous recanalization and the implantation of an SVC stent to reduce the risk of abrupt respiratory arrest and death...

Given the abundance of vital neurovascular structures, gunshot wounds (GSWs) to the posterior fossa are generally fatal. We present a unique such case where a bullet entered the petrous bone, traversed the cerebellar hemisphere and overlying tentorial leaflet, and reached the dorsal aspect of the midbrain, resulting in transient cerebellar mutism with an unexpectedly favorable functional recovery. A 17-year-old boy sustained a GSW to the left mastoid region with no exit wound and presented with agitation and confusion, ultimately leading to a coma...

Temporomandibular joint intra-articular disorders are commonly managed using arthroscopic-assisted procedures. Arthroscopic procedures are minimally invasive, generally successful, and report a low frequency of complications. Vascular complications are particularly uncommon. This case report summarizes the diagnosis and management of jugular vein thrombosis following temporomandibular joint arthroscopy.

Pseudoaneurysms and thrombosis in the jugular vein are very rare. This case report presents a case of a 57-year-old female with a thrombosis in the internal jugular vein and a pseudoaneurysm in the external jugular vein. The diagnosis is often delayed due to the less-frequent occurrence of either. Ultrasound and/or computer tomographic scan are useful in the diagnostic process. Pseudoaneurysms in the external jugular vein are often benign and treatment spans from none to surgical removal. The treatment of venous thrombosis is anticoagulant medication...

Factor (F) XII knockdown attenuates catheter thrombosis in rabbits. Because histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) modulates FXIIa activity, we hypothesized that HRG depletion would promote catheter thrombosis. To test this, rabbits were given antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) against HRG, FXII, or a control ASO or saline. The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and catheter-induced thrombin generation were determined in blood collected before and after treatment. Compared with the controls, the HRG- and FXII-directed ASOs reduced hepatic mRNA and plasma levels of HRG and FXII, respectively, by over 90%...

BACKGROUND: Typical Lemierre's syndrome is usually secondary to an oropharyngeal infection. Recently, several cases following a primary infection site other than the oropharynx have been reported as atypical Lemierre's syndrome; although, these primary lesions are limited to the head and neck. This is the first case potentially sequential to infectious foci outside the head and neck. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe an atypical Lemierre's syndrome in a 72-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis, which occurred during the treatment of Streptococcus anginosus bacteremia acquired from a sacral ulcer infection related to rheumatoid vasculitis...

Lemierre's syndrome is a condition when an oropharyngeal infection, typically from Fusobacterium necrophorum ,   causes thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein. There have been few case reports of Lemierre's syndrome affecting the external jugular vein, but to our knowledge, this is the first case report where COVID-19 infection is the prime suspect for causing this syndrome. SARS-CoV-2 infection, known to cause hypercoagulability and immunosuppression, increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis and secondary infections...

BACKGROUND: Clinicians trained in point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) use the tool to enhance diagnostic capabilities at the bedside, often excluding or diagnosing conditions that are suspected based on the history and physical examination. Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) involves compression of arteries and nerves between the clavicle and first rib causing pain and paresthesia in the affected limbs. To our knowledge, use of POCUS to diagnose TOS in the literature has not been described. CASE REPORT: A 46-year-old man presented with left upper extremity (LUE) edema, pain, and paresthesia, which was progressive over 3 weeks...

External jugular venous aneurysms are a rare clinical occurrence. Clinical symptoms such as painless neck swelling that worsens with the Valsalva maneuver, coughing, or straining may point to the diagnosis. Doppler ultrasonography is frequently used to confirm the diagnosis. We report a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with a one-year history of painless right supraclavicular swelling. She noticed the swelling increases in size with the Valsalva maneuver. Neck ultrasound with color Doppler revealed a vascular structure containing turbulent blood flow; it measured 2...

Objective: Sigmoid sinus (SS) stenosis is a complication of translabyrinthine approach. Velocity changes in the SS measured by intra-operative doppler ultrasound may help in identifying patients at risk for sinus occlusion. Patients: SS velocity was measured using doppler ultrasound prior to opening dura and again prior to placement of the abdominal fat graft. Intervention: Data collected included: patient age, surgical side, sinus dominance, tumor volume, intra-operative doppler ultrasound measurements, post-operative venous sinus imaging, anticoagulation, and morbidities and mortalities...

Arterialization of orbital veins is most often due to dural arteriovenous malformations of the cavernous sinus area. We report an unusual case of unilateral proptosis (exophthalmos) caused by arterialized retrograde venous flow in the external jugular vein and cavernous sinus in a patient with an upper extremity hemodialysis fistula and ipsilateral acute central venous thrombosis. The patient's symptoms improved after surgical closure of the hemodialysis fistula.

BACKGROUND: Although tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC) are far from ideal, they still represent the main form of vascular access for most patients beginning dialysis. Catheters are easy to place and allow patients instant access to dialysis, but regardless of these benefits, catheters are associated with a high incidence of significant complications like bloodstream infections, central venous stenosis, thrombosis, and dysfunction. In the present study, we aim to describe and characterize a swine model of catheter dysfunction and bloodstream infection, that recreates the clinical scenario, to help to serve as a platform to develop therapeutic innovations for this important clinical problem...
