“…None of the typical cervical vertebrae showed double foramen transversarium. Double foramen transversaria were present only in seventh cervical vertebra and the incidence was reported as 20% which was similar with the previous studies by Apurba patra et al, and Chaudhari ML et al, but they also found double foramen transversaria in typical cervical vertebrae [14,15].…”

Introduction: The occurrence of vertebrobasilar insufficiency caused by rotation of the head has been reported due to thickened fibroligamentous structures, osteophyte formation, duplication of foramen transversarium, and congenital absence of the foramen transversarium. The size and variations of the foramen transversarium plays an important role in vertebrobasillar insufficiency. The present study was carried out on the anatomical variations of foramen transversarium.

“…Conversely, Katikieddi & Setty (2014) studied 100 cervical vertebrae, and reported the presence of AFT in 3%, with 2 % and 1% located unilaterally and bilaterally respectively. Other authors report double FT in 22.00 % vertebrae, among which double foramen were observed unilaterally in 10.67 % vertebrae and bilaterally in 11.33 % vertebrae (Patra et al, 2015).…”

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.

“…The transverse process is comprised of an anterior part known as the costal process and a posterior part, termed the true transverse process (Baylan, 2016). The FT exists by the formation of the transverse process whereby the costal element fuses to the body and the true transverse process (Patra et al, 2015). These foramen transmit the vertebral artery (VA), vertebral vein (VV) and vertebral nerve (Dofe et al;Sabnis, 2015).…”

SHEIK ABDUL, R.; LAZARUS, L.; RENNIE, C. & SATYAPAL, K. S. The foramen transversarium of typical and atypical cervical vertebrae: morphology and morphometry. SUMMARY:The seven cervical vertebrae found in the human body are classified into typical and atypical vertebrae. Their transverse processes contain foramen transversarium (FT) and traditionally there is one foramen present on each side, of similar size. However, variations of this foramen regarding its shape, size, number, laterality, location and osteometric characteristics have been documented in the literature. This morphological and morphometric study was conducted on 126 cervical vertebrae (82 typical and 44 atypical) obtained from the osteological bank at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal to produce a database which may serve as a useful guideline to medical personnel. There were variations observed regarding shape, number of FT, laterality and position, which have not previously been reported. The most types of variations were evident in the typical cervical vertebrae, then secondly, the seventh cervical vertebrae. The axis vertebrae did not display any accessory FT or variations.
