ABSTRACT: Observation: This patient was a
40-year-old housewife with dysphonia, physical asthenia, palpitations, fever
and cervical tumefaction that had been going on for 2 months, no known cardiovascular risk factor, such as
medical history, ischemic stroke. Heart
sounds were regular at 110 bpm, blood pressure =
120/80 mmhg, to the lungs there are
sibilant rattles. Elsewhere, there is a painful left lateral cervical
tumefaction febrile to the touch. Temperature = 38°C. The
rest of the exam is peculiar. Conclusion: Jugular vein thrombosis is a
rare variety of unusual localization of venous thromboembolism. It must be
suspected in the presence of a painful
cervical swelling and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging or to scan with
contrast or ultrasound. Anticoagulant therapy should be instituted as soon as
possible to avoid the formidable complication of pulmonary embolism.
