Opening of the article
An extremely rare case of unilateral anterior jugular phlebectasia in a 12-year old male child, with a gradually increasing painless, soft, fluctuant, left cervical swelling, increasing in size on Valsalva manoeuvre is being presented. Although the most common cause of a neck swelling increasing in size during straining is a laryngocele, phlebectasia of anterior jugular vein should also be kept in the differential diagnosis.
