Anatomy of the Tentorial Margin

  • Conference paper
Extra-Intracranial Vascular Anastomoses Microsurgery at the Edge of the Tentorium

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurosurgery ((NEURO,volume 13))

Abstract

The tentorium cerebelli and its medial margin are composed of collagen fibers. This rigid construction is fixed anteriorly on the clinoid processes by two folds. The upper and posterior part of the tentorial notch rises more steeply than the lower part and finally merges into an arch running rostrally. In this part the tentorium cerebelli rises relatively steeply to a central ridge, which is bounded on both sides of the median plane by a strand of fibers known as the plica limitans fastigii.
