A woman in her 80s was taken to the hospital after falling off a ladder and underwent a contrast-enhanced CT scan, which revealed disruption of the contrast effect in the right internal jugular vein, with multiple rib fractures and haemopneumothorax. Following reduction of the subcutaneous emphysema with treatment, the diameter of her right internal jugular vein enlarged over time, becoming equal to that on the contralateral side. It is important to diagnose compression of the internal jugular vein due to subcutaneous emphysema, because the treatment strategy varies according to the aetiology.

To describe the distribution of jugular bulb position and pneumatization of posterior lip of internal auditory meatus (IAM) in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS). This retrospective study included 43 patients who had a thin slice (< 2 mm) CT temporal bone for preoperative planning of retrosigmoid approach for excision of VS between March 2011 and March 2021. On computed tomography (CT), high riding jugular bulb was defined by its relationship to IAM and correlated with type of jugular bulb according to Manjila et al.

Mediastinal mass syndrome represents a major threat to respiratory and cardiovascular integrity, with difficult evidence-based risk stratification for interdisciplinary management. We conducted a narrative review concerning risk stratification and difficult airway management of patients presenting with a large mediastinal mass. This is supplemented by a case report illustrating our individual approach for a patient presenting with a subtotal tracheal stenosis due to a large cyst of the thyroid gland.
