Felipe Constanzo, Maurício Coelho Neto, Gustavo Nogueira, Ricardo Ramina
Abstract
The jugular foramen remains one of the most complex regions of the human body. Approaching lesions in this area requires extensive anatomical knowledge and experience, due to the many critical neurovascular structures passing through or around the jugular foramen. Here, we present a concise review of the microsurgical anatomy of the jugular foramen in relation to the craniocervical approach.
