Özet:

 Aim: The aim of this study was to radiologically evaluate the occurrence of more than one for. transversarium, called accessory foramen transversarium ATF, in individuals aged 21-60 years living in the Western Black Sea Region. Material and Methods: Personal information name, last name and age of the patients who participated in the study were not shared and confidentiality was taken as a basis. In the study, cervical vertebrae of 200 healthy individuals, 100 females and 100 males aged 21-60 years, were obtained retrospectively by Computed Tomography CT through the Hospital Imaging Archiving System PACS. The for. transversarium of all cervical vertebrae from C1 to C7 were examined on coronal and sagittal plane images brought to orthogonal plane. The presence or absence of variation was examined. The vertebrae with ATF were noted. It was noted whether the ATF was unilateral or bilateral in the vertebra where it was found. If it was unilateral, which side it was on was noted. After all CT images were examined, the data obtained were entered into the Microsoft Excel program. It was analyzed with SPSS 24.0 program. Results: The according to the analysis results, ATF was observed in a total of 95 individuals, 49 males 49 and 46 females 46. 18 individuals 18.9 had right-sided ATF, 46 individuals 48.4 had left-sided ATF and 31 individuals 32.6 had bilateral ATF. There was no statistically significant difference between gender and ATF p0.05. ATF was observed in a total of 121 vertebrae out of 1400 vertebrae examined. C6 was the most common vertebra with ATF in both sexes. Conclusion: We believe that our study will provide guidance for clinicians and radiologists in predicting changes in the structures passing through the foramen for. transversarium, interpreting X-ray and CT scans, and determining the more appropriate intervention when surgical intervention is considered.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Batı Karadeniz Bölgesinde yaşayan 21-60 yaş aralığındaki bireylerde aksesuar foramen transversarium ATF olarak adlandırılan birden fazla for. transversarium görülme durumunu radyolojik olarak değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya katılacak olan hastaların kişisel bilgileri ad-soyad ve yaş paylaşılmayarak gizlilik esas alındı. Çalışmada 21-60 yaş arasındaki 100 kadın ve 100 erkek toplam 200 sağlıklı bireyin servikal vertebraları Bilgisayarlı Tomografi BT ile Hastane Görüntüleme Arşivleme Sistemi PACS üzerinden geriye dönük elde edildi. Ortogonal plana getirilen coronal ve sagittal düzlem görüntüleri üzerinde C1den C7ye kadar bütün servikal vertebraların for. Transversariumlarına bakıldı. Varyasyonun bulunup bulunmadığı incelendi. ATF görülen vertebralar not edildi. ATFnin bulunduğu vertebrada unilateral mi bilateral mi olduğu kaydedildi. Unilateral ise hangi tarafta olduğu not edildi. Bütün BT görüntüleri incelendikten sonra elde edilen veriler Microsoft Excel programına girildi. SPSS 24.0 programı ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: Analiz sonuçlarına göre 49 erkek 49, 46 kadın 46 toplam 95 bireyde ATF gözlendi. 18 birey 18,9 sağ, 46 birey 48,4 sol ve 31 bireyde de 32,6 çift taraflı ATF gözlendi. Cinsiyet ile ATF arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı p0,05. İncelenen 1400 vertebra içerisinde de toplam 121 vertebrada ATF gözlendi. İki cinsiyette de en sık ATF görülen vertebra C6 olarak belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışmamızın foramen for. transversarium içerisinden geçen yapılardaki değişikliklerin tahmin edilmesinde, klinisyenler ve radyologlar için röntgen ve BT taramalarının yorumlanmasında ve cerrahi müdahale düşünüldüğünde daha uygun girişimin belirlenebilmesi için yol gösterici olacağını düşünüyoruz.
