  2. External jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_jugular_vein

    This vein receives the occipital vein occasionally, the posterior external jugular, and, near its termination, the transverse cervical, transverse scapular, and anterior jugular veins; in the substance of the parotid, a large branch of communication from the internal jugular joins it. The external jugular vein drains into the subclavian vein ...

  3. Jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_vein

    The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins. Finally, the left and right brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava, which delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. [2] The jugular vein has tributaries consisting of petrosal sinus, facial, lingual ...

  4. Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency controversy

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_cerebrospinal...

    Most of the venous problems in MS patients have been reported to be truncular venous malformations, including azygous stenosis, defective jugular valves and jugular vein aneurysms. Problems with the innominate vein and superior vena cava have also been reported to contribute to CCSVI. [27] A vascular component in MS had been cited previously ...

  5. Cranial venous outflow obstruction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranial_venous_outflow...

    Extrinsic anomalies are structural changes near the Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) that can cause venous outflow obstruction. These changes can be due to bone pressure, artery pressure, enlarged lymph nodes, or an enlarged thyroid. These factors can squeeze the vein wall and block the blood flow.

  6. Paget–Schroetter disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paget–Schroetter_disease

    Paget–Schroetter syndrome was described once for a viola player who suddenly increased practice time 10-fold, creating enough repetitive pressure against the brachiocephalic and external jugular veins to cause thrombosis. [6] Symptoms may include sudden onset of pain, warmth, redness, blueness and swelling in the arm.

  7. Queckenstedt's maneuver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queckenstedt's_maneuver

    Then, the clinician's assistant compresses both jugular veins (if increased intracranial pressure is not suspected then one may exert pressure on both external jugular veins but usually pressure is first exerted on the abdomen, this pressure causes an engorgement of spinal veins and in turn rapidly increases cerebrospinal fluid pressure), which ...

  8. Posterior triangle of the neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_triangle_of_the_neck

    The external jugular vein's superficial location within the posterior triangle also makes it vulnerable to injury. See also. Anterior triangle of the neck;

  9. Posterior external jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Posterior_external_jugular_vein

    The posterior external jugular vein begins in the occipital region and returns the blood from the skin and superficial muscles in the upper and back part of the neck, lying between the splenius and trapezius. It runs down the back part of the neck, and opens into the external jugular vein just below the middle of its course.
