On physical examination, she was found to have a pulsatile right-sided neck mass that was approximately 4 cm in diameter (Figure 1).
Cross-sectional view of the pseudoaneurysm on vascular imaging. Greyscale is shown in (a) and color Doppler is shown in (b). The color Doppler image demonstrates flow between the lobes of the lesion. In this case, the blue color represents flow towards the transducer. ECA = external carotid artery. ICA = internal carotid artery. PSA = pseudoaneurysm.

A vascular ultrasound revealed a bilobed pseudoaneurysm of the internal jugular vein (Figure 2) with an identifiable entrance point and a membrane that separated the two lobes (Figure 3).
Long-axis view of the pseudoaneurysm on vascular imaging. Greyscale is shown in (a) and color Doppler is shown in (b). The arrow points to the communication between the bilobed pseudoaneurysm and the internal jugular vein. The color Doppler image demonstrates flow into the defect. In this case, the red color represents flow towards the transducer. IJ = internal jugular vein. PSA = pseudoaneurysm.
