Background: The human occipital condyles are unique bony structures connecting the cranium and the Abstract vertebral column. The present study was conducted to determine the size of occipital condyles and variation in skulls. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted 80 human skulls. In all skulls, the length of the condyle was measured from tip of the condyles in vertical direction, breadth was measured from tip of the condyle in horizontal direction and shape was determined. Left and right was measured and compared. Results: on right side, the length of occipital condyles was 21.14 mm and on left side was 20.19 mm. The difference was non- significant (P- 0.51). On right side, the breadth of occipital condyles was 13.25 mm and on left side was 14.10 mm. The difference was significant (P- 0.01). On left side, the shape was oval in 28, oblong in 20, crescent in 18 and rhomboid in 14. On right side, it was oval in 26, oblong in 22, crescent in 20 and rhomboid in 12.
