- Abstract
This article discusses a rare case of benign intracranial hypertension (BIH) caused by unilateral thrombosis of the dominant internal jugular vein. The patient, a 33-year-old woman with polycystic ovarian syndrome, experienced neck pain and blurred vision. Imaging tests revealed thrombosis in the right internal jugular vein. The patient underwent treatment and showed resolution of the thrombosis. The article emphasizes the importance of considering internal jugular vein thrombosis as a potential cause of BIH and highlights treatment options. Another article explores the outcomes and risk factors associated with internal jugular vein thrombosis, finding a higher risk of complications. A related study suggests anatomical variations may play a role in the development of this condition in patients with lung cancer.
