The jugular bulb is a venous structure linking the sigmoid sinus with the internal jugular vein. Jugular diverticulum is a rare condition characterized by extraluminal outpouching from the jugular bulb. As the patients may be totally asymptomatic, but sensorineural symptoms such as sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo can also occur. Diagnosis of these patients can be made by some radiologic methods such as high-resolution computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or a novel radiologic technique flat panel computed tomography. In this paper we report a 22-year-old female patient with jugular diverticulum presenting with tinnitus complaint.

Article Synopsis
- The jugular bulb (JB) is a crucial part of the internal jugular vein, and this research aims to enhance understanding of its anatomy, abnormalities, and surrounding structures for better academic and surgical practices.
- Various imaging techniques, including cone-beam CT and angiograms, were reviewed to highlight different anatomical variations of the JB, which have clinical importance for surgeries related to the ear and skull base.
- The study documented anatomical variations such as high JB and dehiscent JB that can lead to misdiagnosis, emphasizing the need for careful preoperative assessments to ensure the best surgical outcomes.

We present a rare case of bilateral pharyngocoeles in a patient with symptomatic neck swelling prominently seen with the Valsalva manoeuvre. Pharyngocoeles have only been reported a handful of times in the literature. Due to their rarity, they can easily be misdiagnosed as a laryngocoele, Zenker's diverticulum, or jugular venous phlebectasia.

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.
