“…Additionally, the ratios of cervical body heights and intervertebral disc heights were not shown statistically difference (p>0.05), and some values were higher in males than females (C3 body anterior height /C3 body posterior height, C3-4 intervertebral disc anterior height/ C3-4 intervertebral posterior height, C4 body anterior height /C4 body posterior height, C4-5 intervertebral disc anterior height/ C3-4 intervertebral posterior height, C7 body anterior height /C5 body posterior height), while some were found lower in males than females (C5 body anterior height /C5 body posterior height, C5-6 intervertebral disc anterior height/ C3-4 intervertebral posterior height, C6 body anterior height /C5 body posterior height, C6-7 intervertebral disc anterior height/ C6-7 intervertebral posterior height, C7-T1 intervertebral disc anterior height/ C7-T1 intervertebral posterior height). Although the basic characteristics of the vertebrae are similar, these morphometric characteristics may differ depending on region, race, genetic and gender parameters [28][29][30][31][32][33][34] . The knowledge of cervical vertebrae morphology is also critical for prevent damage to the vertebral artery, spinal medulla, or nerve roots during fixation process 29,34 .…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the normal values of the cervical spinal cord, spinal canal, and intervertebral disc morphometry of healthy subjects in this study Materials and Methods: Cervical magnetic resonance imaging of 83 healthy subjects were examined retrospectively. The anterior and posterior height of each cervical vertebra body, anterior and posterior height of each intervertebral disc between C3-T1, and spinal canal and cord diameters were measured. Additionally, the height ratios of the cervical vertebra body and intervertebral disc were calculated. Results: There was no significant difference between genders in spinal cord diameters from C1 to C7, whereas there was a significant difference between genders in spinal canal diameters from C1 to C4. There were significant differences between genders in terms of anterior and posterior vertebral body height from C3 to C7 level. Moreover, significant differences between genders in terms of anterior and posterior intervertebral height from C3-4 to C7-T1 level (except C6-7 intervertebral anterior height) were found. Conclusion: We would like to stress that the cervical region is a clinically important structure because of its location, surgical importance, its exposure to a large number of injuries, Gender plays the most important role in spinal canal morphometry, following vertebral

Introduction: The spinous process is part of the vertebrae and provides muscle attachment for some muscles and ligaments. They are important landmarks and play a role in screw placement during surgical intervention. This report describes a case of a Sudanese with a short cervical spinous process and draws attention to the possibility of anatomical variations in general and the shortage of cervical spinous processes specifically. Case Report: A 70-year-old Sudanese male presented to the emergency department following a road traffic accident. After standard management and patient stabilization, the X-ray showed that the spinous processes of C 3, 4, and 5 cervical vertebrae were short, and those of C 6 and 7 have abnormal anatomy. The inter-spinous distances were well-maintained. The joints and articulations processes of cervical vertebrae were normal without cortication. The patient was stable and admitted for 24 hr for observation and then discharged on analgesics. Conclusion: This is the first case report of the short spinous process among Sudanese. Some of the cervical spinous processes were short, and others had abnormal anatomy. No obvious manifestations were linked to the case. Discussion of anatomical variations should be carried out and implemented with care and in line with the normal and latest developments in biological, anthropology, forensic, and related sciences. Such anatomical abnormality should be considered during radiographing, preparation, and surgical intervention planning. The normal adaption resulting from congenital abnormality or variation can be used as a method for reconstruction surgeries and provides alternatives to clinical management.

Introduction: The knowledge of morphometric parameters of laminae of cervical vertebrae is indispensable in surgical procedures and developing instrumentation for surgical processes. Literature reports ethnic and geographical variations reported in these dimensions. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included analysis of laminae of 212 cervical vertebrae (C3–C6). The length of superior border of lamina and inferior border of lamina was measured on the right and left sides using vernier caliper. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done with the help of Microsoft Excel version 2021. Results: The length of the superior border of lamina on both sides increases from C3 to C5. The length of the inferior border of the lamina on both sides decreases from C3 to C4, then on the right side, it increases from C4 to C5 and then decreases from C5 to C6, and on the left side, it increases from C4 to C6. At C4, the length of superior border of lamina on the right side differed statistically from the length of superior border of lamina on the left side (P = 0.042). A significant difference between lengths of the inferior border of laminae on the right and left sides was also found at the C5 vertebra (P = 0.001) and C6 vertebra (P = 0.012). No significant difference in thickness and height of lamina was observed between right and left sides. Conclusion: The present study indicates morphometric parameters of laminae of typical cervical vertebrae in the North West Indian population differ from the same parameters in Brazilian as well as South Indian populations. The length of superior border as well as inferior border of lamina has significant differences between right and left sides. However, there is no significant difference in height and thickness of laminae between right and left sides.
