Abstract

Knowledge of variations of veins of head and neck in relation to internal jugular, external jugular, anterior jugular and facial veins is important to surgeons doing head and neck surgery as well as to radiologists doing catheterization and to clinicians in general. In the current case, congenital atresia of the left internal jugular vein is reported. During neck dissection, superficial veins of neck and left external jugular vein was engorged and the left internal jugular vein was look like a fibrotic band. The left common carotid artery and vagus nerve was normal.
