Dehiscent jugular fossa associated with vertigo.
In a patient with two widely separated episodes of vertigo CT identified a high and medially directed jugular fossa with dehiscence extending to the internal auditory meatus and the vestibular aqueduct. The question of whether the radiological findings were incidental or directly related to the patient's symptoms is discussed.
