A jugular foramen is one of the two (left and right) large foramina (openings) in the base of the skull, located behind the carotid canal. It is formed by the temporal bone and the occipital bone . It allows many structures to pass, including the inferior petrosal sinus , three cranial nerves , the sigmoid sinus , and meningeal arteries.
Symptoms of this syndrome are consequences of this paresis. As such, an affected patient may show: [citation needed] dysphonia/hoarseness; soft palate dropping; deviation of the uvula towards the normal side; dysphagia; loss of sensory function from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue (CN IX) decrease in the parotid gland secretion (CN IX) loss of ...
Located in the jugular foramen. Receives taste from the posterior 1/3 of the tongue, provides secretomotor innervation to the parotid gland, and provides motor innervation to the stylopharyngeus. Some sensation is also relayed to the brain from the palatine tonsils. This nerve is involved together with the vagus nerve in the gag reflex. X Vagus
Apical foramen, the opening at the tip of the root of a tooth; Foramen ovale (heart), an opening between the venous and arterial sides of the fetal heart; Foramen transversarium, one of a pair of openings in each cervical vertebra, in which the vertebral artery travels; Greater sciatic foramen, a major foramen of the pelvis
The jugular fossa is located in the temporal bone, posterior to the carotid canal and the cochlear aqueduct. In the bony ridge dividing the carotid canal from the jugular fossa is the small inferior tympanic canaliculus for the passage of the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. [1]
Also known as “sundowner’s syndrome,” sundowning is a set of symptoms or behaviors that can be seen in some people with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, according to the Alzheimer’s ...
Note that a superior petrosal sinus enters the junction of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. Also an inferior petrosal sinus enters the sigmoid sinus near the jugular foramen. The posterior cranial fossa is formed in the endocranium, and holds the most basal parts of the brain.
One important note: Excess biotin can also "cause incorrect results in certain laboratory tests that look at thyroid levels and blood markers that can help diagnose heart attacks," says Dr. Castillo.
