Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2023 Sep;75(3):2257-2259. doi: 10.1007/s12070-023-03554-2. Epub 2023 Feb 14.

Abstract

This is the first description of condylar jugular diverticulum (CJD) by means of contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan in the medical literature. CJD is a rare anatomical variant of jugular bulb that should be known to avoid radiological and surgical errors and achieve an appropriate pre-surgical planning of skull base pathologies.
