In 3/80 (4%) of the fetal specimens, a duplicated EJV (with an "H" shaped communication joining the two), was located on the

The skin incision [8] started from the level of the zygomatic bone in its preauricular limb curving down to go behind the ear lobule and then curving down over the

On examination, there was a solitary swelling of 5 x 3 cm on the right side of the neck, below the angle of mandible which was deep to

To assess the associations of demographics (age, sex,
