Abstract: A rare foreign body accompanied by thrombosis in the right internal jugular vein was accidentally observed. We collected the medical history of this special patient, analyzed the causes and characteristics of the foreign body and thrombosis formation, and subsequently observed the changes in thrombosis. Finally, we discussed the diagnostic value of ultrasound for such rare intravascular lesions.
