Jugular Foramen Lesions

The most common neoplasms to be found in the jugular foramen are paragangliomas (glomus jugulotympanicum), schwannomas, or meningiomas (Table 26.1). A mimic of pathology in this region is heterogeneous enhancement within the jugular bulb on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to mixing of blood and turbulence. A number of developmental variants also occur in this region, often better delineated on computed tomography (CT).
