Abstract Objective: The objective of the study was to find the morphometry of occipital condyle in human dry skulls. Methods: Measurements were taken from 100 occipital condyles of 50 adult human dry skulls of unknown age and sex from anatomy department of Saveetha dental college .Five parameters (length, width , height ,anterior intercondylar distance, posterior intercondylar distance ) were measured using Vernier caliper and an analysis was performed Results: The average length of right occipital condyle was 22.3±2.4mm. The average width of the right occipital condyle was13.1±1.9mm. The average height of right occipital condyle was 7.9±1.3mm. The average anterior intercondylar distance was 21.6±2.7mm. Conclusion: Occipital condyle may be present in various shapes, length, width, and it requires a careful radiological analysis before craniovertebral junction surgery. These anatomical parameters should be taken into consideration during posterior and lateral approaches to craniovertebral junction surgery Keywords: occipital condyle, morphometry, skull, intercondylardistance, craniovertebral junction
