The authors present the case of a 14 year-old girl having the cervical deformity developed on the background of influenza and sore throat and was caused by an apparently minor sports injury, with vertebrocervical lesion and rupture of the inner wall of the jugular vein. The painful onset symptomatology, initially attributed to exacerbation of the anginous process and cervical adenitis, evolved towards phonation, deglutition, nervous and final respiratory disturbances. The progressive evolution and gravity of the clinical picture imposed craniocervical surgery, with exclusion of the lateral intramastoid sinus and resection of the extensive ectatic cervicoprevertebral pouch. The authors discuss the mechanism of the vascular lesion, the clinical picture, evolution, diagnosis and therapy, which totaly differed from classical descriptions of phlebectasia of the jugular vein.
