Unilateral neck swelling: A rare case of right internal jugular vein fenestration

Venous anomalies are rare entities in head and neck region. Duplication and fenestration, although rare, are the most commonly seen IJV anomalies. Duplicate IJV bifurcates and drains separately into SCV and reunites as a single channel and drain into SCV in case of fenestration. Duplication or fenestration are rarely symptomatic and usually an incidental finding. We are reporting a rare such case of right IJV fenestration presenting as a diagnostic dilemma of unilateral intermittent neck swelling.
