title: A study of variations of transverse foramens of cervical vertebras in human: accessory foramina in shape and number.
abstract: Transverse foramens of 250 cervical vertebras were examined. There were accessory foramina and variations in shape and number in 10 out of 250 cervical vertebras. Since such a variation of foramens, through which the vertebral artery passes, has not been detected in the literature, these ten cases are to be considered.
