case_images: A brain computed tomography (CT) scan revealed diffuse bilateral cerebral edema that displaced the cerebral stem without signs of ischemic lesions or brain hemorrhage (Figure 2).
case_images: The image depicts the triplex ultrasound examination of the neck vessels. The red color shows the internal and external carotids (the yellow arrow), while the blue color shows the right internal jugular vein (the green arrow). The venous return flow (blue) from the internal jugular vein is almost occluded with minimal flow.

case_images: A triplex ultrasound examination of the venous and arterial systems of the neck and great vessels showed that the right internal jugular vein was almost totally occluded by a thrombus that provoked external pressure just above the right innominate vein, while the carotids were normal (Figure 3).
