Abstract

GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Bu çalışmanın amacı kuru kemik servikal vertebralarda
aksesuar FT insidansını araştırmaktır.

YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Anatomi Anabilim
Dalı Laboratuvar’ına ait 81(seksenbir) adet yaş ve cinsiyetleri bilinmeyen kuru
kemik servikal vertebra incelendi.Tüm servikal vertebralar aksesuar FT varlığı
açısından makroskopik olarak değerlendirildi.

BULGULAR: Servikal vertebraların 10’unda (% 12,34) aksesuar FT
saptandı.Bunlardan 2’sinde (% 2,47) çift taraflı,8’inde (% 9,87) tek taraflı
aksesuar FT olduğu gözlendi. Tek taraflı olanların 6’sı (%75) sağda, 2’si (%25)
solda gözlendi.

TARTIŞMA ve SONUÇ: Bu varyasyonların bilinmesi bu bölgeye yapılacak cerrahi
girişimlerde hem ameliyat yöntemini seçmede hem de postoperatif
komplikasyonların gelişmesini önlemede cerrahlar için önemlidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Servikal vertebra,
foramen transversarium, aksesuar
Türkçe Kısa Başlık: Foramen transversarium

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of
the accessory transverse foramen on dry cervical vertebrae.

METHODS: Eighty-one dry human cervical vertebrae examined from the bone
collections in Laboratory of the Anatomy Department of Dokuz Eylul University
Medical School were unknown age and sex. All cervical vertebrae were evaluated
for the presence of the accessory transverse foramen macroscopically.

RESULTS: The frequency of double transverse foramen was found 10 (12.34 %) of
the 81 cervical vertebrae. Double transverse foramen was bilateral in 2 (2.47
%) of them and unilateral in 8 ( 9.87 %) of them.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The surgeons must be aware of about these variations
before the deciding surgical approach around the cervical vertebrae to avoid
post-operative complications.
