    Occipital condyle surface area does not correlate with skull volume. This study analyzed 741 skulls, revealing asymmetry and variations like flat and bi-partitioned condyles.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Anthropology
    • Forensic Science

    Background:

    • The occipital condyles are crucial joint surfaces at the base of the skull.
    • Understanding their morphology and relationship with overall skull size is important for anatomical and anthropological studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between occipital condyle surface area and skull volume.
    • To document variations in occipital condyle morphology, including symmetry and partitioning.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of occipital condyle surface area and skull volume were taken.
    • A sample of 741 adult skulls (424 male, 317 female) was analyzed.
    • Morphological variations such as symmetry, flatness, and types of bi-partition were documented.

    Main Results:

    • Occipital condyle surface area was found to be non-proportional to skull volume.
    • Significant asymmetry between the left and right occipital condyles was frequently observed.
    • Variations included the presence of flat condyles and three distinct types of bi-partitioned condyles: roof-like, simple, and total.

    Conclusions:

    • Skull volume is not a reliable predictor of occipital condyle surface area.
    • Occipital condyle morphology exhibits considerable individual variation, including asymmetry and complex partitioning patterns.
    • These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of human skull variability.
