ABSTRACT
Internal Jugular vein Phlebectasia (IJP) is a rare disease in which there is a fusiform or saccular dilatation of Internal Jugular vein, usually presenting as a compressible neck mass that becomes prominent on coughing, straining or Valsalva manoeuvre. Colour Doppler is the non invasive diagnostic tool which clinches the diagnosis. It is important to keep this diagnosis in mind in case of lateral neck swellings to avoid invasive investigations and inappropriate treatment as management of asymptomatic case is conservative.
