	Jugular vein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The internal jugular vein is formed by the anastomosis of blood from the sigmoid sinus of the dura mater and the common facial vein.
		It commences in the substance of the parotid gland, on a level with the angle of the mandible, and runs perpendicularly down the neck, in the direction of a line drawn from the angle of the mandible to the middle of the clavicle at the posterior border of the Sternocleidomastoideus.
		This vein receives the occipital occasionally, the posterior external jugular, and, near its termination, the transverse cervical, transverse scapular, and anterior jugular veins; in the substance of the parotid, a large branch of communication from the internal jugular joins it.

	PHLEBECTASIA OF THE INTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN
		Jugular vein ectasia is a rare benign dilatation of the jugular veins.
		Under appropriate anaesthesia the whole of the ectatic jugular vein is dissected out of the carotid sheath from its origin at the base of the skull to the point where it goes retrosternal.
		Jugular vein phlebectasia is a benign condition seen in children and young adults, which is not known to cause any complications.

	Internal Jugular Vein Cannulation - Medical Procedures - Medstudents
		Cannulation of the internal jugular vein may be the method of choice to measure the central venous pressure because of the lower incidence of complications.
		The right internal jugular vein is usually chosen, since the right lung is lower than the left and this route does not endanger the thoracic duct.
		Identify the anatomical landmarks : the internal jugular vein lies lateral to the carotid artery; the sternocleidomastoid muscle overlies the internal jugular vein in the lower half of the neck (photo 3).

	3.3.6 The jugular vein
		The jugular filling time can be measured from the time taken for the vein to fill to the level of the jaw when occluded, and it can be delayed in some animals with heart failure.
		To check whether a jugular pulse is present, the vein should be occluded and blood milked from the point of occlusion towards the thoracic inlet.
		The jugular vein will fill in a normal animal when it lowers its head because the vein is then ventral to the right atrium.

		External jugular vein was formed by the union of undivided retromandibular vein and anterior facial vein at the anterior margin of sternomastoid, posterior auricular vein joining it as a tributary.
		Finally this thick vein arched laterally and pierced the deep fascia ending at the angle of the junction of internal jugular vein and subclavian vein, of the left side.
		External jugular vein was formed in the usual manner by the union of retromandibular and posterior auricular vein and then coursed along the roof of posterior triangle, piercing the deep fascia below the emergence of supraclavicular nerve and terminated in the subclavian vein of the same side.

	External Jugular Vein Cannulation
		It is a very superficial vein and can be mobile and tend to "roll." The external jugular vein can also be positional with slight movement of the head effecting the flow of the fluid.
		The complications of external jugular vein cannulation are the same as for any IV start or infusion, and may include hematoma at the insertion site, cellulitis, infection, phlebitis, infiltration of IV fluid at the site, and embolism of air, blood, or catheter fragment.
		After cannulating the external jugular vein the provider can station himself at the patient's head and be able to ventilate the patient and give drugs from this position.

		The internal jugular vein (IJV) arises at the base of the skull, in the posterior compartment of the jugular foramen, as the continuation of the jugular bulb of the sigmoid sinus.
		The most important superficial relationship of the IJV is the sternomastoid which is lateral to the vein in its upper part and covers it in the lower part (Figure 1, Figure 2).
		The internal and common carotid arteries accompany the internal jugular vein medially within the carotid sheath, and the vagus lies behind and between the vein and the arteries.

	Jugular vein, internal definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
		Jugular vein, internal: The deeper of the two jugular veins in the neck that drain blood from the head, brain, face and neck and convey it toward the heart.
		The external jugular vein collects most of the blood from the outside of the skull and the deep parts of the face.
		When the patient is sitting or in a semirecumbent position, the height of the jugular veins and their pulsations provides an estimate of the central venous pressure and gives important information about whether the heart is keeping up with the demands on it or is failing.

		The femoral vein catheters are far from ideal, since the femoral region restricts patient mobility, is prone to infection, and catheters are usually removed at the termination of dialysis, which results in a large number of catheter insertions over a short period of time.
		Subclavian vein cannulation is associated with subclavian vein stenosis and occlusion.
		The catheter was surgically placed either by a cut-down technique on the internal jugular vein, or via percutaneous cannulation, which is the preferred technique because it is simpler and avoids the need for neck incision.

	Ear, Nose & Throat Journal: Hyperhomocysteinemia and left internal jugular vein thrombosis with Meniere's symptom ...
		The author postulates that the clot in the left internal jugular vein caused an increase in venous pressure that resulted in venous insufficiency in the vestibular organs.
		In fact, in an article on the surgical lowering of the high jugular bulb in the treatment of 13 patients with Meniere's disease and pulsatile tinnitus, Couloigner et al postulated that the symptoms in these patients were caused by compression of venous drainage of the endolymphatic duct and/or sac by the high jugular bulb.
		In the case described here, the effect of the clot in the left internal jugular vein was similar to the effect of a high jugular bulb with respect to the way it altered blood flow dynamics.

		Occlusion or partial occlusion of the jugular vein by a thrombus is a relatively common complication of long-term catheterisation (>24 hours).
		Oedema and venous disof the head may be visible if the vein is severely occluded, particularly if both left and right jugular veins are affected.
		However, if the thrombosis is small and uninfected, it may be better to place catheters in the same vein lower down rather than risk losing both jugular veins.
