Abstract

Study was planned with objective to observe and analyze the variations in foramen transversarium (FT) of cervical vertebrae.In this study a total of 420 cervical vertebrae belonging to 60 sets of skeletons were observed.Double FT was observed in 58 cervical vertebrae that make up 13.81 percent of all vertebrae studied.5 percent vertebrae presented with bilateral FT whereas 8.81percent of all vertebrae had unilateral FT.Maximum number of double FT was observed in sixth cervical vertebrae.Percentage of double FT in 6 th cervical vertebrae was 46.84 of all double FT.Out of 79 double FT, 42 (53.16percent) were observed as bilateral occurrence.Knowledge of anatomical variations of foramen transverium is important in spine surgeries especially in posterior approaches.
