“…Therefore, it seems that postnatal or adult factors play a limited role at best in the development of the trait. In more detail, from a collation of data from several studies that considered complete cervical spines (Taitz et al, ; De Boeck et al, ; Sanchis‐Gimeno et al, ; Sharma et al, ; Murlimanju et al, ; Chandravadiya et al, ; Patil et al, ; Rios et al, ) and, from the present study, a clear and consistent pattern of frequency in human samples emerges: C3 < C4 < C5 < C6 > C7. In line with our results, previous studies also observed the absence of DTF in C2 and its occasional presence in C1 (De Boeck et al, ; Wysocki et al, ), and although we did not find it in C3, other studies did, although at very low frequency (De Boeck et al, ; Wysocki et al, ; Sanchis‐Gimeno et al, ; Sharma et al, ; Rios et al, ).…”

Currently, there is no information about the possibility of developing clinical symptoms after whiplash in double transverse foramen subjects. Our aim was to test whether subjects with double transverse foramen have an increased risk of presenting with an acute headache, dizziness, vertebral artery dissection, and vomiting after whiplash.We recorded the absence/presence of double transverse foramen, and the absence/presence of neck pain, acute headache, dizziness, vertebral artery dissection, and vomiting in 85 patients who had suffered whiplash injuries in car rear-end impacts in road traffic accidents. We used the odds ratio test to determine whether double transverse foramen subjects are at a higher risk of developing an acute headache, dizziness, and vomiting than non-double transverse foramen subjects.Although double transverse foramen subjects presented with more clinical symptoms after whiplash, the odds ratio test revealed that their risks of developing acute headache (P = 0.30), dizziness (P = 0.09), or vomiting (P = 0.18) were not significantly greater than in the control group.Double transverse foramen subjects are not at a higher risk of presenting acute headache, dizziness, vertebral artery dissection, and vomiting after whiplash.

“…In 2005, Das S et al 5 studied on 132 dried human cervical vertebrae & reported only two cases (1.5%) of double foramen transversarium. While, Sharma et al 6 observed accessory FT in 8% cases i.e. 16 among 200 cervical vertebrae, in which incidence of double FT was higher in C6 vertebra.…”

“…By contrast, the presence of the AFT, has been previously reported Aydinoglu et al, 2001;Murlimanju et al;Das et al;Sharma et al, 2010;Chandravadiya et al, 2013;Rathnakar et al, 2013;Agrawal et al, 2012;Murugan & Verma, 2014), in different populations with distinct results. Aydinoglu et al (2011) in his study, after observing 222 cervical vertebrae, reported a frequency of 6.7 % of the AFT on both sides; meanwhile, Das et al and Kaya et al reported values of 1.5 % and 22.7 % respectively.…”

MOLINET, G. M.; ROBLES, F. P.; & ROA, I. Anatomical variations of the foramen transversarium in cervical vertebrae. Int. J. Morphol., 35(2):719-722, 2017. SUMMARY:The cervical vertebrae are recognized mainly by the presence of the foramen transversarium, which is crossed by the vertebral artery and vein, accompanied by sympathetic fibers. The main objective of this study was to observe and describe the anatomy and variations in the foramen transversarium. 121 cervical vertebrae were analyzed, including the macroscopic characteristics, shape and diameter and presence of the foramen transversarium, as well as the accessory foramen transversarium. All cervical vertebrae presented the foramen transversarium, with a mean diameter of 5.60 mm and a mean diameter of 4.40 mm on the right and 5.92 mm -5.56 mm on the left, respectively. With regard to shape classification according to Taitz et al. (1978), 90.08 % presented the same shape on both sides, and 9.91 % had different shapes. The presentation of the different shapes was as follows: shape 1 41.32 %; shape 2 4.13 %; shape 3 18.8 %; shape 4 14.04 %; and shape 5 12.39 %. Regarding the presence of accessory foramen transversarium, 17.35 % of the vertebrae presented it, 66.6 % unilateral, 57.14 % on the right side and 42.85 % on the left side. Osteophytes, were presented in 5.7 %. The anatomical knowledge of these variations is useful for spine surgeons in preoperative planning and for preventing vertebral vessel and sympathetic nerve injuries during cervical surgical approaches.
