Abstract

Veins in the head and neck are known to show considerable variations. These variations could be troublesome while performing surgeries or invasive procedures. This is a report of an aberrant posterolateral tributary to the internal jugular vein. A total of six cases were noted during our routine neck dissections. Documentation of the same is recommended, as the presence of the posterolateral tributary is of great clinical significance to the head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial surgeons, general surgeons, critical care physicians and interventional radiologists in order to avoid an inadvertent injury to the vessel. Extensive literature search has failed to reveal any case series reporting this additional tributary. Discovery of this additional tributary has great practical implication. Through this manuscript we aim to add to the literature and make the clinicians and the surgeons academically well aware of the rare presence of the posterolateral tributary, which one might encounter during their routine procedures and make them more competent to perform these procedures. Keywords: Internal jugular vein, Anteromedial tributaries, Posterolateral tributary.

IJV后外侧分支异常

头部和颈部的静脉显示出相当大的变化。在进行手术或侵入性手术时，这些变异可能会带来麻烦。这是一个异常后外侧支到颈内静脉的报告。在我们的常规颈部解剖中，共发现了6例。对于头颈外科医生、颌面外科医生、普通外科医生、重症监护医生和介入放射科医生来说，后外侧支的存在对于避免对血管的意外伤害具有重要的临床意义。广泛的文献检索未能揭示任何报告这一额外支流的病例系列。这条新增支流的发现具有重大的实际意义。通过这篇文章，我们的目的是增加文献，使临床医生和外科医生在学术上很好地意识到后外侧分支的罕见存在，这可能是他们在常规手术中遇到的，并使他们更有能力执行这些手术。关键词:颈内静脉，前内侧支，后外侧支。

期刊介绍： Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery was founded as Indian Journal of Otolaryngology in 1949 as a scientific Journal published by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and was later rechristened as IJOHNS to incorporate the changes and progress. IJOHNS, undoubtedly one of the oldest Journals in India, is the official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India and is about to publish it is 67th Volume in 2015.
