Abstract (2. Language): 
Background : The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of double foramina transversaria in the cervical vertebrae and its morphological and clinical importance. Methods: Total 133 human dried cervical vertebrae were taken from the department of Anatomy, Adani medical college Bhuj. All the vertebrae were observed macroscopically for the presence of double foramen transversarium. Results: Out of 133 cervical vertebrae, double foramen transversarium was observed in 22 vertebrae (23.15%), among them unilateral double foramen was found in 14 vertebrae (14.73%) and the bilateral was found in 8 vertebrae (8.42%). Conclusion: Unilateral double foramen transversarium were more common than bilateral. This variation is important for the Neurosurgeon during cervical surgery. Under such condition the course of the vertebral artery may be distorted. It is also useful for Radiologist during CT and MRI scan.
