Abstract:
The jugular foramen were examined in 100 human skulls. In 61% of cases the right was larger than the left and in 26% the left was larger, with 13% of equal shape and size. The jugular foramen was separated into two compartments by septation bone in 5% of cases bilaterally; on the right only in 7%, on the left only in 3%. The jugular foramen was described as being divided into three compartments by two spicules of bone in 6% of cases the right and in 5% the left. The jugular fossa was evident bilaterally in 86% of cases; on the right only in 10% and on the left only in 4%.
