CNS Flashcards
(40 cards)
dural exit of Abducens nerve: Dorello’s canal or cavernous sinus
Borders of lateral ventricle, anterior horn (frontal horn)
lateral wall: the head of the caudate nucleus
medial wall: septum pellucidum
superior wall: radiation of the body of the corpus callosum
anterior wall: radiation of the genu of the corpus callosum
inferior wall: radiation of the rostrum of the corpus callosum
Borders of lateral ventricle, posterior horn (occipital horn)
the walls are the white matter of the occipital lobe
superior-lateral wall: radiation of corpus callosum (tapetum)
medial wall: calcar avis (elevation caused by calcarine sulcus)
inferior wall: collateral trigone at the end of the collateral eminence (elevation caused by collateral sulcus)
Borders of lateral ventricle, inferior horn (temporal horn)
superior and lateral walls: white matter, mainly the radiation of the corpus callosum (tapetum), above it the optic radiation,
medially in the superior wall the tail of caudate nucleus and the stria terminalis is located
inferior wall: collateral eminence (lateral), hippocampus (medial) with the fimbria hippocampi, which is continuous with the
crus of the fornix (the hippocampus anteriorly forms pes hippocampi)
medial wall: the tela choroidea including vessels (together called choroid plexus) is pushed into the ventricle (the lamina
epithelialis is attached inferiorly to the fimbria of the hippocampus and to the crus of the fornix - tenia fimbriae (continuous
with the tenia fornicis) and superiorly to the stria terminalis - tenia terminalis (continuous with the tenia choroidea))
choroid plexus of the inferior
