Abstract

Internal jugular phlebectasia is a venous anomaly commonly presenting as a unilateral neck swelling in children. The clinicopathology, aetiology and management are discussed. Bilateral doppler ultrasonography is the diagnostic investigation of choice and should be performed in all suspected cases. Conservative management of the bilateral case is recommended.
