A morphometric study of jugular foramen in adult dried human skull of South Karnataka population
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Anatomy and Surgery of Head, Neck and Brain - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction The jugular foramen JF is larger irregular curved foramen situated in the skull base which transmits major neurovascular structures especially internal jugular vein Variations in JF are more common in the same or different crania races and sexes The knowledge of detailed anatomy is therefore necessary to conduct microsurgeries in and around these foramina Material and MethodsThe present study was conducted on 40 adult dried human skulls having 80 jugular foramen procured from Department of Anatomy at Kodagu Institute of Medical Sciences MadikeriWe have observed and metric measurements of the anterioposterior and mediolateral diameter of jugular foramen width and depth of the jugular fossa were taken by using digital vernier callipers and the data were tabulated analysed and comparedResultsThe dimensions of JF and Jugular fossa were larger on right side Out of 40 skulls bilateral complete septations were found in 6 15 skulls and bilateral partial septations were found in 4 10 skulls Two septations on left side were observed in only one skull The meanSD of width and depth of jugular fossa were 761195 mm and 863258 mm on left and 918165 mm and 1039333 mm on right side respectively A dome indicating the prominent superior jugular bulb were found in 69 8625 jugular fossa of which 29 725 were bilateral Conclusion The variations could be due to constitutional racial or genetic factors Thus the present study is important for the surgeons in dealing with space occupying lesions in and around the foramen KeywordsSkull Jugular foramen
