Anatomico-radiological study of asymmetrical articular facets on occipital condyles and its clinical implications
Das S, Chaudhuri JD

The articular facets on the inferior aspect of the occipital condyles, articulate with the superior articular facets of the fi rst cervical (atlas) vertebra, to form the atlanto-occipital joint. The present case, reports the asymmetrical dimensions of the facets on the occipital condyles of a human dried skull. The anatomico-radiological study of asymmetrical articular facets on the occipital condyles, may be helpful for academicians, neuro-surgeos, clinicians and radiologists in day to day clinical practice.
