Canalis basilaris medianus (CBM) is a unique anatomical variation located in the basal occipital region of the skull, rarely encountered in head and neck radiographic imaging. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and types of CBM using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans.
