What is the Jugular Vein?

The main role of veins is to regulate the volume of the vascular system and collect blood back to the atrium. The jugular vein is the line that returns blood from the human head to the heart. Once it ruptures, if the wound is large, blood will splatter. If the injured person cannot be treated in time, he will die within a few minutes.

Even if the wound is small, it will still be life-threatening if not treated in time.

The internal vein (v.jugularis interna) is the largest vein trunk in the neck. On the jugular foramen

When Varsava is examined or there is an increase in intrathoracic pressure, the lower part of the neck appears to swell, and the possibility of jugular vein dilatation should be considered. Further diagnosis is required for diagnosis, the earliest examination is retrograde vein

The need for treatment depends on the clinical symptoms of the disease and its effect on aesthetics. Thanks to

Jugular vein

There is no particular subjective discomfort and no reports of internal jugular vein dilatation or rupture, so conservative observation should be the main method advocated by modern times. If surgical treatment is possible due to the effect on aesthetics, the skin needs to be cut open on the clavicle, the internal jugular vein is exposed, and the ligature is cut off. When the position is too low, the sternum needs to be split. Therefore, the doctors and patients need to consider carefully before the operation, whether the swelling of the lower part of the neck only has a large effect when the air is closed, or the postoperative scar and possible complications have a large effect. Surgical resection of bilateral internal jugular vein dilation can cause cerebral edema, which is a high risk. At this time, dilatation vein compression can be used.
