Abstract :

Introduction:The knowledge of morphometric variations of occipital condyles would be useful to interventional radiologists and neurosurgeons. Aim: To analyze the variations in shape, size and position of the occipital condyles in human skulls. Materials and Methods:The study was done on 81 dry human adult skulls of unknown sex obtained from the bone liary in the Department of Anatomy, AIMS, Kochi. The shape, maximum length and width of right and left condyles, distance of each condyle from foramen magnum and the intercondylar distance were measured and tabulated. The data was statistically analyzed. Result and Conclusion: The mean values for the parameters were obtained. The most commonly observed shape of the condyle was oval. The mean width,distance from the posterior tip of condyle to opisthion and distance of the anterior tip of condyle to basion on right and leftwere significant.
