KW - Internal jugular vein thrombosis, Head and Neck reconstruction, Edoxaban
AB - Internal jugular vein thrombosis (IJVT) is a complication of neck dissection. After head and neck
reconstruction, flap congestion due to IJVT may lead to flap necrosis, and early diagnosis and treatment
should be considered. We experienced a case of disappearance of IJVT in which edoxaban was administered
after free-flap reconstruction, and the entire flap survived. Edoxaban has few bleeding complications and
was useful as a single drug approach for IJVT after head and neck reconstruction.
