Multiple Fractures of Cervical Vertebrae Combined with Arcuate Foramen and Vertebral Artery Occlusion: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
Orthopaedic Surgery, 2021 Background The arcuate foramen is a complete or partial bony bridge over the vertebral artery groove of atlas. The mechanism of the arcuate foramen is not clearly understood.

The Potential Morphological Stenosis Pattern of the Arcuate Foramen [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground: The arcuate foramen (AF), an osseous foramen, is probably formatted from the ossification of the posterior atlanto-occipital membrane. When this morphologically ossified variant exists, it encloses the vertebral artery (VA) third segment (V3).

An anatomical study of arcuate foramen and its clinical implications: a case report [PDF]
Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, 2016 The objective of this paper is to describe the relationship of the vertebral artery (VA) to the Atlas (C1) in the sub-occipital region in the presence of arcuate foramen; and discuss the clinical implications related to manual therapies and surgical implications related to screw placement.

Arcuate foramen prevalence in South African subjects: A cadaveric study based on 120 atlas vertebrae
Translational Research in Anatomy, 2023 Background: This study was a prospective cadaver-derived skeletal study looking at the skeletal remains of a modern human population. The complete arcuate foramen (AF) is an anatomical variant of the atlas vertebra with a complete osseous bridge over the

Arcuate Foramen: An Anatomic Variant of Atlas Vertebra and Its Clinical Considerations [PDF]
Journal of Medical Academics, 2023 The ponticulus posticus (PP) or arcuate foramen (AF) is a bony bridge arising from lateral mass of atlas, which transforms the groove of vertebral artery into a canal on posterior arch of atlas.

Arcuate Foramen: An Essential Variation of the Atlas That Should Keep in Mind
Boğaziçi Tıp Dergisi, 2022 The arcuate foramen (AF), one of the variations of the first cervical vertebra (atlas), is localized on the vertebral artery (VA) sulcus, and computed tomography is the gold standard in its diagnosis.

Anatomical Variant of Atlas : Arcuate Foramen, Occpitalization of Atlas, and Defect of Posterior Arch of Atlas [PDF]
Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2015 We sought to examine anatomic variations of the atlas and the clinical significance of these variations.We retrospectively reviewed 1029 cervical 3-dimensional (3D) CT images. Cervical 3D CT was performed between November 2011 and August 2014. Arcuate foramina were classified as partial or complete and left and/or right.
