Floor Of Fourth Ventricle Ppt

Features of the floor of the fourth ventricle rhomboid fossa the floor of the 4th ventricle displays the following features.

Floor of fourth ventricle ppt. The caudal tip of the fourth ventricle where it becomes the central canal is known as the obex. Central spinal canal bathes the spinal cord. The border between the pons and medulla occurs approximately at the level of the foramina of luschka. Exposure of the fourth ventricle was satisfactory in all of the patients and the floor of the fourth ventricle could be visualized early and be protected.

Mri scan of head in sagittal plane. The inferolateral margins marked by a narrow white ridge called taenia. 4 2 floor or ventral wall of fourth ventricle 4 3 roof of the fourth ventricle. The fourth ventricle contains cerebrospinal fluid.

4 1 lateral walls of fourth ventricle. The fourth ventricle is the last in the system it receives csf from the third ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct. It lies within the brainstem at the junction between the pons and medulla oblongata. The features of the lower part of the floor of fourth ventricle resemble with that of a pen nib hence it is called calamus scriptorius 17.

Specifically it spans from the obex an area in the medulla. The whole floor is split into left and right symmetrical halves by a median sulcus which stretches from the aperture of the aqueduct of the midbrain above to the commencement of the central canal below. Projection of the ventricles onto the left surface of the brain. Csf produced and or flowing into the fourth ventricle can exit to the subarachnoid space through lateral apertures and a single median aperture located in the inferiorportion of the roof.

Fourth ventricle central canal fourth ventricle mesencephalic aqueduct third ventricle position situated ventral to cerebellum and dorsal to pons and cranial half of medulla 5. The fourth ventricle has an anterior ventral floor with a characteristic diamond shape named the rhomboid fossa and a posterior dorsal tent shaped roof. Boundaries floor of 4 th ventricle 8. The two taenia meet at the inferior angle of the ventricle to form a small fold called obex.

It has a diamond shape and is located in the upper portion of the medulla. From the 4th ventricle the fluid drains into two places. The superior pontine part of the floor begins at the aqueduct and expands to the lower margin of the cerebellar peduncles. 3 the fourth ventricle is situated dorsal to the pons and upper part of medulla oblongata and ventral to the cerebellum.

The glistening white floor of the fourth ventricle is the posterior surface of the brain stem. Eor and outcomes were satisfactory in 90 of patients including those harboring large tumors or lesions attached to the lateral or superolateral recesses of the ventricle.
