Abstract EN
Neck swellings that appear on straining, crying, and Valsalva maneuver are usually suggestive of laryngocele.
Phlebectasia of jugular veins can cause a similar sign but is rare compared to laryngocele.
Jugular vein phlebectasia ( JVP) is of unknown etiology and is caused by vein dilatation without tortuosity, which is rare in children.
It transiently appears during straining as a soft cystic neck mass.
Such cases are frequently misdiagnosed or managed inappropriately due to their rarity.
We report a case of a four-year-old boy with right internal JVP and right hydrocele.
