“…The prevalence identified by Mishra of 24 complete ATFs against only 7 in their incomplete morphology. Such data are correspondent with the description of Gonsai et al (2015) 13 , whose sample presented 40 vertebrae that had the ATF in complete shape, while only 22 were incomplete, and with the analysis of Kumari et al (2015) 15 , in which 22 ATF were complete and only 9 were incomplete. These data contrast with those identified by Esakkiammal and Chauhan (2016) 7 , who described the prevalence of 19 complete morphology ATF and 24 in its incomplete presentation, and with those exposed in the present analysis, since it has described only 19 ATF in its complete morphology and 28 of the accessory transverse foramen as being incomplete.…”

“…Additionally, Akhtar et al (2015) 12 describes 20 unilateral and 5 bilateral ATFs, just like Gonsai et al (2015) 13 does, identifying 31 unilateral and 9 bilateral, being in correspondence with the findings in the present study (25 vertebrae with unilateral ATF and 11 with bilateral ATF). On the other hand, Esakkiammal and Chauhan (2016) 7 and Mishra et al (2015) 14 reported a more frequent bilaterality in their analysis, with 18 unilateral and 19 bilateral for the first and 10 unilateral and 21 bilateral for the second one (Table 5).…”

Introduction: vertebral arteries (VA) are the formation factors of the Transverse Foramens (TF) and the largerst anatomical structures that occupy them. Variations in the presence, size and course of VAs affect the morphology of TFs considerably, besides being the probable cause of formation of the accessory transverse foramen (ATF). Knowledge of the presence of the ATF and its variations are important for a safe surgery. Material and Methods: the present study has analyzed 165 cervical vertebrae. The ATF has been classified as unilateral or bilateral, complete or incomplete and anterior, posterior or lateral regarding the transverse foramen of the respective cervical vertebrae analyzed. Quantitative data was collected through a digital caliper. Results: 36 (21.82%) of the vertebrae presented the ATF, with 25 (15.15%) of them carrying the ATF unilaterally, while the remaining 11 (6.67%) had the foramen bilaterally. 28 (59.57%) ATF were classified as incomplete and 19 (40.43%) were classified as complete. 44 (93.62%) were identified as posterior and 3 (6.38%) were anterior to the TF. Regarding the morphometric data, there was no difference between the longitudinal measurement (LM) and transverse measurement (TM) on the right and left sides of the vertebrae analyzed. Conclusion: it has been shown for the first time the prevalence of ATF in individuals in a population of Northeastern Brazil. The morphological knowledge can be surgical and clinically important as it may suggest alterations in the vertebral artery and in the venous plexuses that surround it in its vertebral segment of passage in the transverse foramina.

“…Yadav Y et al 16 got only 8 (6.67%) cases of double FT among 120 cervical vertebrae, in which 3 were unilateral & 5 were bilateral. A single sixth cervical vertebra with bilateral double foramen FT with non-bifid spine was reported by Mishra GP et al 17 Double foramen transversarium is also known as "foramen transversarium bipartitia". Depending upon the course of vertebral artery it may be unilateral and bilateral.…”

“…Accessory FT was found more often in the present study as compared to that seen in studies conducted by various authors (Figure 10). Mishra et al studied 220 typical cervical vertebrae and found 31(14.09%) vertebrae had accessory FT. Out of these, 18 (8.1%) were bilateral complete, 6 (2.7%) were unilateral complete, 3 (1.3%) were bilateral incomplete and 4 (1.8%) were unilateral incomplete accessory FT. 17 Accessory FT in the typical cervical vertebrae were seen only in 37 (27.6%) vertebrae in the present study. Out of these, 4 (2.9%) were bilateral complete, 9 (6.7%) were unilateral complete, 6 (4.5%) were bilateral incomplete and 12 (8.9%) were unilateral incomplete.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe foramen transversarium (FT) is a typical feature of cervical vertebrae. Both typical and atypical cervical vertebrae have FT. The presence of FT differentiates cervical vertebrae from other vertebrae. The FT of 6 th to 1 st cervical vertebrae transmits the 2 nd part of the vertebral artery, vertebral veins, and sympathetic nerves from inferior cervical ganglion.1 Presence of another foramen apart from FT in the transverse process of cervical vertebrae is called accessory FT which is smaller in size than the primary foramen. Generally, it is found in the sixth cervical vertebra and less frequently in other typical cervical and 7 th cervical vertebrae. 2 This accessory FT lies posterior to the normal FT. Any variation in the FT may affect the course of vertebral artery and may cause serious complications like vertebrobasilar insufficiency.3 Under such circumstances, the course of ABSTRACT Background: The cervical vertebrae are smallest of all the vertebrae present in the vertebral column. It is characterized by a foramen in each transverse process. The foramen transversarium (FT) of 6 th to 1 st cervical vertebrae transmits vertebral vessels and sympathetic nerves. Presence of another foramen apart from FT in the transverse process of cervical vertebrae is called accessory FT. Anatomical knowledge of these variations are helpful for conducting cervical spinal surgeries by the surgeons in order to prevent injury to vertebral vessels and sympathetic nerves. Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of anatomy, UCMS and GTB Hospital, Delhi, India. A total number of 241 dried cervical vertebrae were collected from the bone bank of the Department of Anatomy. Presence of any variation from the normal anatomy of the cervical vertebrae were noted and photographed. Results: Out of 241 cervical vertebrae (typical and atypical), the accessory FT was noted in typical cervical vertebrae only. Accessory FT was seen in 37 (27.6%) vertebrae, out of 134 typical cervical vertebrae. These accessory FT were either bilateral complete in 4 (2.9%) or incomplete 9 (6.7%) or unilateral complete 6 (4.5%) and unilateral incomplete 12 (8.9%) were observed. Six (4.5%) typical cervical vertebrae showed presence of complete accessory FT on one side and incomplete accessory FT on the other side in the same vertebra. Conclusions: Knowledge of variations of the presence of accessory FT in the typical cervical vertebrae is not only important to anatomist but also to radiologist in identifying the presence of duplicate vertebral artery and hence helping the neuro surgeons in preventing accidental bleeding from the vertebral artery while performing surgery on the cervical spine.
