Morphological study of anatomical variation of foramen transversarium in cervical vertebrae and its clinical implication
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction The Foramen Transversarium FT is a identification feature of cervical vertebrae which differentiate it from the other vertebrae It is present in the the transverse process of vertebrae Vertebral artery is pass through this foramen which important for blood supply for brainAim and Objective To study the anatomical variation in foramen transversarium in cervical vertebrae very important for purpose of diagnostic and surgical important for Surgeon Radiologist and NeurosurgeonMaterial and Method In our study we included 175 dried cervical vertebrae from department of anatomy to detect double foramen FT present in transverse process in cervical vertebrae Vertebrae with anatomical variation were photographedResult In our study we found total 24 vertebrae having double FT out of 175 cervical vertebrae Which include 12 vertebrae having bilateral double FT and 12 vertebrae having unilateral double FTConclusion Knowledge of this type of anatomical variation in foramen transversarium is important for cervical approach during spine surgery to prevent injury of vascular structuresKeywords Foramen Transversarium Vertebral artery Cervical vertebrae
