Abstract	Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) phlebectasia is a rare congenital venous anomaly, typically presenting as a soft, compressible swelling on the side of the neck, which transiently appears in periods of increased intrathoracic pressure, such as when performing a Valsalva maneuver[1,2]. Due to its uncommon nature and benign course, it is often misdiagnosed or subjected to unnecessary investigations. We report a case of right-sided internal jugular vein phlebectasia in a pediatric patient, highlighting the clinical features and imaging findings essential for accurate diagnosis and management. Doppler imaging confirms the diagnosis and is the gold standard
