Abstract
The authors report a case of a jugular bulb dehiscence extending to th e tympanic cavity. They alert that the finding of a blue mass in the m iddle ear should evok the possibility of a vascular variant or abnorma litie. High resolution CT is extremely helpful in the correct diagnosi s by showing the subtle and characteristic bone changes.
