Mega cisterna magna is a condition in which the cisterna magna, the subarachnoid cistern below the fourth ventricle, is enlarged. It has been proposed to be due to a delayed rupture of Blake's pouch rather than a failed rupture. [9] In mega cisterna magna, unlike in DWM: [9] The cerebellum is not usually hypoplastic.
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 ...
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]
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]
The quadrigeminal cistern [1] (also cistern of great cerebral vein, [1] vein of Galen cistern, [2] superior cistern, [2] [3] Bichat's canal, [3] or peripineal cistern [2]) is a subarachnoid cistern situated between splenium of corpus callosum, and the superior surface of the cerebellum.
All patients showed cerebellar and/or vermal dysfunction and, on formal psychometric testing, cognitive abilities ranged from normal to moderately retarded. Abnormalities on CT scan ranged from prominent valleculla to an enlarged cisterna magna with hypoplasia of the cerebellar hemispheres and vermis.
The ICD-10 Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a set of diagnosis codes used in the United States of America. [1] It was developed by a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human services, [ 2 ] as an adaption of the ICD-10 with authorization from the World Health Organization .
