Abstract :
<p> <span style="font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify;">Aim: To find the incidence and clinical correlation of pleurapophyseal malformation in atlas verteae.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Objective: To understand the variations of foramen transversarium in the atlas verteae in the form of absence of costal element as an anatomic entity for the knowledge of clinicians and surgeons.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Material and methods: 48 human atlas verteae of unknown age and sex were examined for the presence of pleurapophyseal malformation. The samples were obtained from the Department of Anatomy, RIMS, Ranchi.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Results: In the present study, out of 48 atlas verteae, two verteae (4.1%) were noted to have absence of costal element bilaterally.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph"><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%">Conclusion: The knowledge of variation in foramen transversium of atlas verteae is of clinical importance as the second part of verteal artery passing through this foramen may be injured while operating at the cranioverteal region.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
