- Jugular vein thrombosis (JVT)
Definitions
- JVT: Chronic internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis (> 10 days after acute event) where clot persists within lumen after soft tissue inflammation subsides
- Jugular vein thrombophlebitis: Acute to subacute thrombosis of IJV with associated adjacent tissue inflammation (myositis and fasciitis)
