The cisterna magna (posterior cerebellomedullary cistern, [1] or cerebellomedullary cistern [2] [3]) is the largest of the subarachnoid cisterns.It occupies the space created by the angle between the caudal/inferior surface of the cerebellum, and the dorsal/posterior surface of the medulla oblongata (it is created by the arachnoidea that bridges this angle [3]).
Cisterna magna also called cerebellomedullary cistern - the largest of the subarachnoid cisterns. It lies between the cerebellum and the medulla oblongata. It receives CSF from the fourth ventricle via the median aperture (foramen of Magendie). The cisterna magna contains: The vertebral artery and the origin of the posterior inferior cerebellar ...

It allows the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the fourth ventricle into the cisterna magna. [2] [3] The other openings of the fourth ventricle are the lateral apertures - one on either side. [4] The median aperture varies in size but accounts for most of the outflow of CSF from the fourth ventricle. [1]

Not from the actual human body, of course, but from the anatomical diagrams that purported to represent it. Goss was the esteemed editor of the 25th edition of the seminal classic Gray’s Anatomy . Internationally lauded as the authority on all things anatomical, Gray’s Anatomy had been considered essential for any would-be physician to own ...
The interpeduncular cistern (or basal cistern [1]) is the subarachnoid cistern situated between the dorsum sellae (anteriorly) [2] and the two cerebral peduncles [1] [3] [2] at the front of the midbrain. [3]
Each ambient cistern extends anterolaterally around the mesencephalon to become continuous rostrally/anteriorly with the interpeduncular cistern. [2] Each ambient cistern is continuous dorsally/posteriorly with the quadrigeminal cistern; [3] [4] inversely, each ambient cistern is an anterolateral extension of the quadrigeminal cistern on either side [2] (some sources define the quadrigeminal ...
