Floor Of Fourth Ventricle Dissection

The fourth ventricle is one of the components of the ventricular system in the brain along with the lateral and third ventricles it extends from the cerebral aqueduct of sylvius rostrally to the obex caudally and is filled with csf.

Floor of fourth ventricle dissection.

The fourth ventricle contains cerebrospinal fluid. 4 1 lateral walls of fourth ventricle. Superiorly it narrows to become continuous with the aqueduct of the midbrain. The fourth ventricle has an anterior ventral floor with a characteristic diamond shape named the rhomboid fossa and a posterior dorsal tent shaped roof.

3 the fourth ventricle is situated dorsal to the pons and upper part of medulla oblongata and ventral to the cerebellum. The fourth ventricle is found in the posterior region of the pons and medulla and is rhomboid in shape. The lateral ventricles are connected to the third ventricle by the foramen of monro.

The floor of fourth ventricle is also known as rhomboid fossa whi. Do not forget to click on bell icon and never miss the new video. 4 what are the boundaries of fourth ventricle. If you do not.

The video demonstrates the external features of pons and the floor of the fourth ventricle. It has a diamond shape and is located in the upper portion of the medulla. 4 2 floor or ventral wall of fourth ventricle 4 3 roof of the fourth ventricle. Features of the floor of the fourth ventricle rhomboid fossa the floor of the 4th ventricle displays the following features.

Inferiorly it narrows and leads into the central canal of the medulla. Via the obex and into the central canal. The third ventricle is situated in between the right and the left thalamus. Infundibular recess located above the optic stalk.

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. The obex is also a. Specifically it spans from the obex an area in the medulla. 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.

The fourth ventricle has a roof at its upper posterior surface and a floor at its lower anterior surface and side walls formed by the cerebellar peduncles nerve bundles joining the structure on the posterior side of the ventricle to the structures on the anterior side. The caudal tip of the fourth ventricle where it becomes the central canal is known as the obex. The anterior surface of the ventricle contains two protrusions.
