Jugular bulb anatomy is variable. A “high-riding” bulb extending into the tympanic cavity is a well-described anomaly. Petrous jugular malposition (diverticulum) (PJMD), however, is rare. The relationship between PJMD and clinical symptoms is questionable because the differentiation between PJMD as an anatomic variant and pathologic process is unproved. A literature review reveals 14 previously documented cases. We report an additional four cases. Diagnostic and management dilemmas are discussed, with the importance of high-resolution CT Stressed.
