Variations in the size and shape of jugular foramen are of considerable importance. An abnormal and partial obliteration of jugular foramen by a bony growth were observed in three skulls during osteology demonstration classes for medical undergraduates. Jugular foramen transmits important cranial nerves (IX, X, XI), internal jugular vein and inferior petrosal sinus. So, narrowing of the jugular foramen might result in neurovascular symptoms, a condition called Vernet__ampersandsignrsquo;s syndrome, which is discussed along with the case. The knowledge of this bony abnormality is of great importance to neurologists, radiologists, anthropologists and neurosurgeons.
