Introduction: The occipital condyles are located lateral to anterior half of foramen magnum. Being the important component of craniovertebral region, occipital condyles are exposed to variety of clinical conditions. These clinical conditions may need surgical interventions for their treatment. In transcondylar approach to craniovertebral junction lesions partial occipital condylectmies are done commonly. It has been reported after such condylectomies that there have occurred post-operative atlanto occipital joint instability and hypoglossal nerve palsies. These post-operative complications have been attributed to population specific variations in the occipital condyles. Hence it is important to have meticulous knowledge of the occipital condyles. Aims: The aim of this study was to measure the morphometric parameters of the occipital condyles like length, width, height, anterior intercondylar distance (AID) and posterior intercondylar distance (PID) of the Indian population and to compare them with the other populations. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Government Medical College Srinagar, J&K, India, on 198 occipital condyles (76 occipital bones and 23 articulated skulls). Measurements were done with the help of Vernier's calliper. Mean and standard deviation of the morphometric parameters were analysed and comparison was done. Results: The length of occipital condyles on the right side was 22.86 + 3.05mm and on the left side it was 22.76 + 2.80 mm with the mean of 22.81 + 2.92mm. The width on the right side was 12.23 + 1.51mm while on the left side it was found to be 11.43mm + 1.36mm with the mean of 11.83 + 1.43mm. the height of the occipital condyles on the right side was found to be 9.37 + 1.29mm and on the left side it was 9.16 + 1.15mm with the mean of 9.27 + 1.22 mm. the mean anterior intercondylar distance (AID) was found to be 19.57 + 2.81mm while the mean value of posterior intercondylar distance (PID) was found to be 39.62 + 4.23mm. Conclusion: the mean values of all the parameters in the study showed side variations values were found more on the right side than that of left side. there was also difference in these values between the Indian and the other populations for successful surgeries on the occipital condyles, the surgeon must take care of these variations. The study thereby forms the morphometric reference to the surgeons to carry out successful surgeries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
