Behind either condyle of the lateral parts of occipital bone is a depression, the condyloid fossa , which receives the posterior margin of the superior facet of the atlas when the head is bent backward; the floor of this fossa is sometimes perforated by the condyloid canal, through which an emissary vein passes from the transverse sinus.
