A member asked:

Can blood clots form in your neck ???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very rarely: But yes. Clots in jugular veins occur with trauma, with dialysis catheters or central venous iv lines, and with tumors. Clots in carotid arteris can occur with stenosis or plaque. All are dangerous.
