"Basilar processes may be unilateral or bilateral. Large bilateral basilar processes may fuse in the midline, forming a structure known as a false third condyle. A false third condyle will have a remnant of its fused origin in the form of a slender intrabasilar canal passing through it in the anteroposterior direction. A true third condyle will lack this canal 3."
"Bilateral bulging basilar processes may give a lipped appearance that has been described as the anterior labia of the foramen magnum 3,5."
