Abstract

Jugular foramina are two openings in the base of the skull. Difference in diameter between two sides is noted, while right sided foramen is usually mentioned as the larger one. Rare cases have been reported with an enlarged jugular foramen. We report such a case with a right jugular foramen of a diameter 24mmX13mm. Microsurgery in the near future may exploid cases with greater openings. KEY WORDS: Base of the skull, Dry bone, Microsurgery.
