A high jugular bulb (JB) may expand postnatally, but histological findings suggest it has minimal impact on inner ear function, despite occasional bony dehiscence. This study investigated the anatomical relationship between high JBs and the inner ear.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Otopathology
  • Vascular Anatomy

Background:

  • A high jugular bulb (JB) is suspected to impact inner ear structures and symptoms.
  • Histological evidence linking high JB anatomy to the inner ear has been lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the anatomical relationship between high jugular bulbs and the inner ear.
  • To describe histological findings of high jugular bulbs in temporal bones.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 1,591 temporal bones from the Otopathology Laboratory collection.
  • Defined a high JB as extending above the basal cochlear turn's inferior margin.
  • Examined horizontal sections for anatomical variations and relationships.

Main Results:

  • Identified high JBs in 16% of specimens (65/1591).
  • Observed thinner vascular walls in high JBs compared to low JBs.
  • Noted occasional bony resorption around high JBs and dehiscence between JB and endolymphatic sac in 16 specimens.

Conclusions:

  • Jugular bulbs may exhibit postnatal upward expansion.
  • Bony dehiscence between the JB and endolymphatic sac, though present, appears to have minor functional effects on the inner ear.
