A Rare Case of External Jugular Vein Aneurysm Mimicking Branchial Cyst in a Nigerian Child

Abstract

External jugular venous aneurysms, though rare, should be considered as a potential differential diagnosis in case of lateral neck swellings, especially if they demonstrate compressibility with an increase in size on Valsalva maneuvers. Simple ligation and excision are curative measures.
