  • Variant Anatomy of the External Jugular Vein
    ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION Anatomy Journal of Africa. 2015. 4(1): 518 – 527 VARIANT ANATOMY OF THE EXTERNAL JUGULAR VEIN Beda O. Olabu, Poonamjeet K. Loyal, Bethleen W. Matiko, Joseph M. Nderitu , Musa K. Misiani, Julius A. Ogeng’o Corresponding Author: Beda Otieno Olabu P.O.Box 30197 – 00100 GPO, Nairobi Kenya Email: [email protected] or [email protected]. Cell phone: +254 720 915 805 or +254 736 791 617 ABSTRACT Variant anatomy of the external jugular vein is important when performing invasive procedures in the neck. Although there are a number of case reports on some of these variations, there are few descriptive cross-sectional regarding the same. This study therefore aimed at describing the variant anatomy of the external jugular vein as seen in a sample Kenyan population. One hundred and six (106) sides of the neck from 53 cadaveric specimens (70 males and 36 females) in the Department of Human Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Kenya, were used. Pattern and level of formation, course, communications and termination were studied by dissection. The vein was absent in 14.2% of cases, all males. It was formed within the substance of the parotid gland in 44%, and did not receive posterior auricular vein in 6.6%. Variant communications noted included facial vein, internal jugular, and a presence of a large anastomotic vein connecting it to the anterior jugular. It was duplicated in 2.2% cases and terminated into internal jugular vein in 7.7% of cases. The most common variations were in origin, course, communications and termination. These may limit its clinical utilization, and their awareness is important when considering the vein for any invasive procedure.

This study described changes in the following structures: retromandibular vein and its divisions, including the relationship with the facial nerve, facial vein, common facial vein and jugular veins. Material and Methods: The variations of the veins were analyzed in three heads, five hemi-heads (right side) and two hemi-heads (left side) of unknown age and sex. Results: The changes only on the right side of the face were: union between the superficial temporal and maxillary veins at a lower level; absence of the common facial vein and facial vein draining into the external jugular vein. While on the left, only, it was noted: posterior division of retromandibular, after unite with the common facial vein, led to the internal jugular vein; union between the posterior auricular and common facial veins to form the external jugular and union between posterior auricular and common facial veins to terminate into internal jugular.

    TWELVE CASES OF THROMBOSIS OF THE CAVERNOUS SINUS FROM A STUDY OF FIFTY THOUSAND SURGICAL HISTORIES IN THE JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL J. JULIAN CHISOLM, M.D., AND S. SHELTON WATKINS, M.D. BALTIMORE LOUISVILLE, KY. INTRODUCTION Thrombosis of the cavernous sinus is a very rare condition. In 1902, Dwight and Germain1 stated that only 182 cases had been 2 reported, and in 1918, Smith estimated the number reported as less than 300. Only eight cases were found by us in 50,000 of the surgical records of the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1889 to 1919. This is only one case for every 6,250 patients. We are including in this report four other cases: two of these were on other services3 in the Johns Hopkins Hospital; and we are indebted to Surgeon-General Ireland, United States Army, for the privilege of reporting two other cases (Cases 11 and 12) which were seen by Dr. Chisolm while in the army during 1918 and 1919. REPORT OF CASES Case 1.\p=m-\History.\p=m-\Acolored laundress, aged 40, was admitted to the Surgical Service of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, May 15, 1899, complaining of a swelling of the jaw. The personal history was negative. The present illness had begun five weeks before with toothache. A tooth had been extracted, following which the left jaw became painful and swollen. The symptoms gradually increased and the patient became restless and irritable. Four days before the patient had a chill and became drowsy. Two days before a large abscess in the left parotid region was incised.

  • Removal of Periocular Veins by Sclerotherapy
    Removal of Periocular Veins by Sclerotherapy David Green, MD Purpose: Prominent periocular veins, especially of the lower eyelid, are not uncommon and patients often seek their removal. Sclerotherapy is a procedure that has been successfully used to permanently remove varicose and telangiectatic veins of the lower extremity and less frequently at other sites. Although it has been successfully used to remove dilated facial veins, it is seldom performed and often not recommended in the periocular region for fear of complications occurring in adjacent structures. The purpose of this study was to determine whether sclerotherapy could safely and effectively eradicate prominent periocular veins. Design: Noncomparative case series. Participants: Fifty adult female patients with prominent periocular veins in the lower eyelid were treated unilaterally. Patients and Methods: Sclerotherapy was performed with a 0.75% solution of sodium tetradecyl sulfate. All patients were followed for at least 12 months after treatment. Main Outcome Measures: Complete clinical disappearance of the treated vein was the criterion for success. Results: All 50 patients were successfully treated with uneventful resorption of their ectatic periocular veins. No patient required a second treatment and there was no evidence of treatment failure at 12 months. No new veins developed at the treated sites and no patient experienced any ophthalmologic or neurologic side effects or complications. Conclusions: Sclerotherapy appears to be a safe and effective means of permanently eradicating periocular veins. Ophthalmology 2001;108:442–448 © 2001 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
