Pourfour Du Petit Syndrome Due to Ipsilateral Internal Jugular Vein Distention

Pourfour du Petit Syndrome (PdPS) is characterized by signs of oculosympathetic hyperactivity caused by irritation in the oculosympathetic pathway and shares etiologies with Horner Syndrome. We present the case of a 64-year-old woman with Pourfour du Petit syndrome due to compression of the second-order cervical sympathetic chain neuron from a dominant and prominent right internal jugular vein compensatory for contralateral agenesis. Internal jugular vein agenesis is a rare developmental vascular anomaly and is asymptomatic in the majority of patients with this condition.
