injection sclerotherapy and surgery, are associated with significant morbidity. We report a case in which a symptomatic paediatric venous malformation was successfully treated using a combination of ultrasound-guided endovenous laser therapy and foam sclerotherapy.
We report a case of a late complication following an aortic graft replacement in a 69-year old lady who presented with huge pseudoaneurysm from retroperitoneal tunneled thoracofemoral Dacron graft performed 22 years earlier. The pseudoaneurysm was treated by hematoma evacuation and the Dacron graft was replaced by an interposition PTFE bifurcated graft. The patient made an uneventful recovery.

Internal Jugular Vein Aneurysm: A Case Report M.A. Khan, J. Beard and J. Bottomley Sheffield Vascular Institute, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, UK A true aneurysm is defined as a localised permanent dilatation of all layers in a vessel wall. The commonest aneurysms are that of arteries, however, venous aneurysms are also described. These are relatively rare but should not be overlooked as they may result in significant symptoms including swelling, pain and embolism. This is a case report of a lady who presented with a swelling on the right hand side of her neck which proved to be a internal jugular vein aneurysm. doi:10.1016/j.ejvs.2007.03.015 DOI of original article:10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2007.03.003 Available online 19 June 2007

Congenital anomalies of IVC are rare. They are seen more often in young males. They are latent for a long time. Peripheral venous thrombosis or CVI are often the first symptoms of a congenital IVC anomaly. We present 5 patients aged 20 to 43 with congenital anomalies of the IVC. The diagnosis and the level of hypoplasia have been determined by compression ultrasonography with color Doppler assessment, spiral computer tomography, pelvic phlebography and retrograde cavagraphy. In three out of five patients the disease presented as a deep venous thrombosis, in two by temperature rise, chills and subsequent edema of both legs. Two patients had hypoplasia of the infrarenal segment of the IVC. Two others had abnormal of infra-, renal and suprarenal regions of the IVC and one had almost complete vena cava aplasia. In case of DVT or CVI, especially in young males, a potential IVC abnormality should be excluded by ultrasonography of the infra-, renal and suprarenal areas of the IVC. In case of recognized abnormalities a spiral CT scan is indicated. Treatment should comprise vasotonic drugs, elastic compression stockings and use of anticoagulants in cases with peripheral thrombosis. doi:10.1016/j.ejvs.2007.02.027 DOI of original article:10.1016/j.ejvsextra.2007.02.007
