Mesoscopic study on the bulbus venae jugularis superior

C R Piffer, N L Zorzetto

    Anatomischer Anzeiger
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    The superior jugular bulb has strong anterolateral attachments to cranial nerves and venous sinuses, with weak posteromedial connections to the occipital bone. Its wall adheres to periosteum near the jugular foramen, reinforced by fibrous septa.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • The superior jugular bulb is a critical venous structure in the head and neck.
    • Understanding its anatomical attachments is vital for surgical procedures and preventing complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the mesoscopic anatomical attachments of the superior jugular bulb.

    Main Methods:

    • Mesoscopic observation of the bulbus venae jugularis superior.

    Main Results:

    • The anterolateral wall strongly attaches to the vaginae conjunctivi of cranial nerves (glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory), the inferior petrosal sinus, and the jugular fossa.
    • The posteromedial wall shows weak attachment to the occipital bone's jugular incisure.
    • The vascular wall adheres to periosteum at the inferior border of the jugular foramen, reinforced by fibrous septa from the carotid sheath.

    Conclusions:

    • The superior jugular bulb exhibits complex and varied attachments, influencing its surgical accessibility and stability.
    • These detailed anatomical findings are crucial for neurosurgeons and head and neck surgeons.
