AB - We report a case of bilateral bridges of atlas of a Korean atlas and accompanying variation of the course of the left
suboccipital nerve that was observed during the practice of the human anatomy in Seonam university, college of
medicine. Bridges of atlas across the groove for the vertebral artery run inferomedially from the posterior margins of
the superior articular processes to the posterior margins of the grooves. Widths of the narrowest middle portions of the
bridges are 5.05 mm at the left and 0.7 mm at the right. Superior and inferior widths of left bridge are 11.6 mm and 10.9
mm, and of the right are 4.45 mm and 4.65 mm respectively. Cross-sectional areas of the foramina formed by bridges
of atlas are 34.7mm2 at the left and 29.3mm2 at the right. These sizes are much smaller than the sizes of the transverse
foramina of the atlas at each side, but diameters of the second and third portions of the left vertebral artery are same as
4.3 mm. At the junction between the left bridge and the posterior arch distinct suture line was observed. Because of the
relatively wide bridge, the left suboccipital nerve runs more laterally than the right. It turns to the posterior, pierces the
obliquus capitis inferior muscle, and branches out to adjacent suboccipital muscles. Branch to the rectus capitis
posterior muscles obliquely cross over the suboccipital triangle to these muscle
