Jugular dominance is unrelated to isolated unilateral congenital aural atresia in children

The right jugular foramen is usually larger than the left in Homo sapiens, but it is unknown if right-sided jugular dominance is also more common amongst those with unilateral congenital aural atresia. We hypothesized that the dominant (i.e. larger) jugular foramen in children with isolated, non-syndromic, unilateral congenital aural atresia would be contralateral to the atretic ear.
