Occipital condyles and its relation with hypoglossal canal: Anatomical study in central Indian population
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction For transcondylar approach most relevant step during surgical process is the resection of OC Also it is important to have knowledge about it relevant anatomy and its relation with hypoglossal canal This helps to avoid any iatrogenic injury during craniovertebral surgeriesAims The present study helps us to understand the morphological and morphometric data of occipital condyles and its relation with hypoglossal canal and its importance in transcondylar approachMaterials and Methods The study was performed on 85 adult human dry skulls of unknown age and sex obtained from Dept of Anatomy LNMCamp JK hospital Bhopal India Manual vernier calliper was used for the measurement The length of the OC was measured Also its shape was noted In addition to all this the different location of hypoglossal canal in relation to OC were assessedStatistical Analysis Mean and standard deviation of the parameters were analysed Comparision was made of left and right side using unpaired t test and p value was calculatedPercentage of location of hypoglossal canal was calculated in relation with occipital condylesResults The mean of the length of occipital condyle on right side were found to be 2124 mm and on left side 2071 mm The most common shape was quadrilateral type The most common location of intracranial orifice of hypoglossal canal was located at location 4 and extracranial orifice was detected at location 3Conclusion All these parameters will be useful for performing various transcondylar surgical approaches and for reaching lesions in middle and posterior part of cranial baseKeywords Occipital condyles Hypoglossal canal Transcondylar approach Morphometrynbsp
