When present, OCCs are critical landmarks in posterolateral skull base approaches, including the far lateral and transcondylar surgical routes. Their identification is useful for avoiding neurovascular injury during craniovertebral junction procedures. Despite their potential surgical relevance, the variability in OCCs (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">presence, associated symmetry or asymmetry, and morphometry<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) remains poorly documented. This study aimed to provide a detailed identification analysis of the inconsistent OCCs [the posterior condylar canals (PCCs) and paracondylar canals (PCs)], emphasizing their morphometry to enhance applied anatomic knowledge and improve surgical planning.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 113 dried adult European skulls were examined at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens to determine the prevalence of PCCs and PCs. When present, morphometric evaluations were performed according to laterality using metal wire probes to confirm patency. The prevalence of presence and absence was recorded based on laterality. All variables were additionally analyzed by sex, and significance was assessed using Fisher\u2019s exact test (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PCC was identified in 74.3% of the specimens (bilateral, 44.2%; unilateral left-sided, 13.3%; and unilateral right-sided, 16.8%).
