Introduction: To assess the presence of duplicated hypoglossal canal. Subjects and Methods: A total of 80 dried human skulls were collected from the Anthropology lab of the department of Anatomy K.G.M.U.,U. P., Lucknow, India. The skulls were examined for duplicated hypoglossal canal and presence of posterior condylar canal. Theskulls were closely inspected with the use of hand lens. Results: We observed bilateral duplicated hypoglossal canal in 3 skulls (3.75%), Unilateral duplication was seen in 15 skulls (18.75%) [i.e.7 on the right side and 8 on the left side]. We observed that the presence of duplicated hypoglossal canal was mostly associated with the presence of posterior condylar canal. Conclusion: Duplicated hypoglossal canal in humans may result in minor degrees of alterations in the movements of the tongue due to entrapment of nerve during ossification. The clinical relevance of this knowledge is important for radiologists and neurosurgeons.

Introduction -IOF is a constant feature on the anterior surface of body of maxilla below the orbital margin.Infraorbital nerve (ION) & vessels pass through it .IOF assumes great importance in the field of Maxillo- facial surgery & dentistry as ION isanaesthetised during these procedures. Aims & Objective: Presence of accessory IOF affects the process of nerve block as a branch of the nerve, may pass through it. Hence a study was conducted to determine the presence of accessory IOF. Method: The study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, G.S.V.M. Medical College, Kanpur.300 macerated dry adult human skulls of north Indian population belonging to both sexes were selected. Numbers of accessory IOF was determined by direct inspection. Result:The present study found 10.7% of skulls have accessory IOF. Conclusion: Thus knowledge of presence of Accessory IOF plays an important role in nerve block which, if ignored, would result in anesthetic failure & injury to nerve.

Introduction: Nasal Index is very useful in anthropology and it is one of the clinical anthropometric parameters recognized in nasal surgical and medical management. Nasal index is the most common nasal parameter which may be related to regional and climatic differences so that it would be further useful as an essential tool to the researchers, clinicians, rhinoplastic and facial reconstructive surgeons and forensic experts related to this field. The present study was designed to provide a normative data of nasal index and to classify their nose type and comparison of data with other studies. Material & Methods: The study was conducted on 200 human dry skulls of north Indian population in Department of Anatomy, S.N. Medical College, Agra. The measurements were taken using digital vernier caliper. Nasal Index was calculated by measuring nasal height and nasal width in order to determine the nasal type. Results: In the present study, mean nasal height was 49.25±3.68mm whereas mean nasal width was 24.63±2.90mm. Mean nasal index was calculated as 51.00± 0.09. Conclusion: The findings of our study suggest that according to the nasal index, the studied population of North India belongs to Platyrrhine type.
