Jugular Vein Obstruction Caused by Turning of the Head Een artikel dat in 1983 verscheen.
Citaat:
Our studies cleanly demonstrated that turning the head to one side results in torsion-compression of the ipsilatenal internal jugular vein, which could have hemodynamically significant consequences. Though many collateral channels for venous drainage of the head are available to compensate, they may be severely compromised if resection, ligation, or cathetenization of the vein, on anatomic variations in the venous channels have already obstructed the contralatenal internal jugular vein.
