Abstract

Background: Jugular vein phlebectasia is a rare entity seen in children and is often an incidental finding presenting as a soft, cystic painless neck swelling that becomes prominent on coughing or straining and disappears on rest. It is usually managed conservatively. Case Presentation: We report a case of an 8-year-old boy who visited us on an outpatient basis with a history of cough with neck swelling. Doppler ultrasound helped clinch the diagnosis of bilateral jugular venous phlebectasia. Conclusion: It is paramount that clinicians consider this differential of jugular phlebectasia for neck swellings to avoid unnecessary investigations.
