Introduction: occipital condyles are anatomical structures that integrate the craniovertebral junction, a region predisposed to a series of traumatic, degenerative and neoplastic diseases. Understanding the morphometry and morphology of this structure is essential for a safe and effective surgical treatment of lesions in this region. Material and Methods: the present study has analyzed 128 dry adult human skulls. Genders were classified based on morphological features. A digital caliper was used to measure the following morphometric variables of the occipital condyles: length and width of the occipital condyles (OCL and OCW), anterior and posterior intercondylar distances (AID and PID) between the anterior and posterior tips of the occipital condyles, and the distance from the basion to the opisthions (BOD). Student's t-test was applied to evaluate statistical difference between sexes on each side, using GraphPad Prism® for Windows version 6.0. Values of p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: six types of condyles were identified in the population studied. Type 1 was predominant in the specimens. The right and left OCL measurements were higher in males, while OCW was higher in males only on the right side. Regarding the AID and PID and BOD measurements, there was no significant difference between genders. Conclusion: the anatomical findings in this study can be useful and serve as a reference database to guide professionals, especially from northeastern Brazil, who will deal with approaches in this region, facilitating and reducing the chances of unforeseen events during surgical interventions.
