Abstract

A case of a five-year-old child with a greatly enlarged jugular fossa and high jugular bulb with associated progressive sensorineural hearing loss is presented. While various forms of this anatomical variant have been described by many authors, this is an extreme example, and progressive symptoms are most unusual.
