Abstract
The first detailed presentation was given by Key and Retzius (1875). Its principles were confirmed and adapted for microsurgery by Yaşargil a century later (1976). 3 aspects have to be considered: Relationship of cisterns to surrounding structures, contents of the cisterns and relationship of CSF-flow, vessels and cranial nerves to the walls and contents of cisterns.
