The morphology of the first five cervical vertebrae was analyzed with cone beam computed tomography to identify any anomalies. Intra- and interobserver error methods were calculated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Dehiscence and fusion of one unit (both 23.3%) and partial cleft (11.7%) were the most frequent anomalies, while occipitalization was the least common (3.3%). Dehiscence anomaly was observed when the control group was compared with Classes II and III and partial cleft anomaly when Class I was compared with Class III. Furthermore, NSBa and ss-N-sm\/ANB angles were associated with partial cleft anomaly, while NSL\/NL angle and extended head posture were associated with fusion anomaly.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Fusion, dehiscence, and partial cleft were the most frequent cervical vertebrae anomalies. Dehiscence and partial cleft were found to present statistically significant differences between Class I and Classes II and III.
