The left internal jugular vein is totally occluded by a heterogeneous thrombus, extending to involve the left subclavian, brachiocephalic, and axillary veins, with no detected color flow or spectral waves.
Case Discussion
Internal jugular vein thrombosis is a rare complication in patients with Behçet disease. It is important for physicians to diagnose it and be aware of its significance. The incidence of pulmonary embolism may reach 2.4% for combined internal jugular vein thrombosis and subclavian vein thrombosis and is less for isolated internal jugular vein thrombosis . Mortality may exceed 14% at one month.
