Abstract
Three dry adult human skulls, two with bilateral and one with unilateral duplication of the optic canal were found. Their gross morphologic features were studied. Optic canals were separated by a septum of variable thickness dividing the posterior part of the canal into a large canal in the usual position and a smaller one inferior to it. The skull with unilateral duplication of the right side had a bony bar forming the carotico-clinoid canal. One of the skulls was disarticulated and its sphenoid had bilaterally duplicated optic canals divided by thin septa, both having a slit. Conventional radiography and CT scans for the optic canal were performed on two of these skulls but not on the disarticulated bone, and the imaging representations of these features were correlated with the anatomic findings on the dry skull.
