The most common cause of a mass in the neck appearing only during straining is a laryngocele. On the other hand, the rare jugular phlebectasia may present in a similar manner. The cause of the jugular phlebectasia remains unclear. No treatment is indicated for this benign self-limiting condition. However, surgical removal for cosmetic purposes alone consists of a unilateral excision of the internal or external jugular vein; this produces no gross side-effects. © 1995 Springer-Verlag.en10.1007/BF01957361info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChildren; External Jugular Vein; PhlebectasiaArticle; Case Report; Human; Internal Jugular Vein; Male; Neck Tumor; Priority Journal; School Child; Valsalva Maneuver; Case Report; Child; Diagnosis, Differential; Human; Jugular Veins; Male; Neck; Varicose VeinsArticle15442752762-s2.0-00289160207607276Q1
