Results: Demarking point regarding Distance between both tips of transverse process of atlas vertebrae in male was>86.34 and in female it was <62.98. Demarking point regarding transverse diameter of vertebral canal of atlas vertebrae in male was>32.6 and in female it was <22.07 Demarking point regarding anterioposterior diameter of vertebral canal of atlas vertebrae in male was>33.12 and in female it was <25.23 Demarking point regarding area of vertebral canal of atlas vertebrae in male was > 632.5 and in female it was < 455.8 Demarking point regarding circumference of vertebral canal of atlas vertebrae in male was > 100.45 and in female it was < 80.4.
