Jugular Foramen Syndrome

Jugular foramen syndrome. The jugular foramen is an important anatomical structure through which the jugular vein passes, containing blood from the head and neck. However, in some people there may be a defect in the development of the vessels in the inner lining of the jugular vein, which can lead to various health problems. This is called jugular foramen syndrome. This pathology has been known since the 19th century. Some authors claim that this condition was observed in a small number of patients suffering from severe forms of bilateral branchiogenic dystrophy of the pharynx or larynx. Other researchers believe that this pathology was discovered in thyroid or tongue cancer. If the defect was in the area of ​​the hole, then venous nodes, bleeding and other symptoms may be observed.

Among the most famous cases of jugular foramen syndrome is a lesion with a diameter of about 2.5 cm in the neck area, where two large venous vessels were located. The affected area itself was “soft” and without the formation of a hard mass. Another case involved a relatively small defect in the wall of one of the venous vessels
