Libelle of note

The Cisternae subarachnoideae (Subarachnoid cisterns) can be divided into an Infratentorial and a Supratentorial group; the Basal cisterns are usually called together the Cisterna basalis (see Yasargil MG 1984 Microneurosurgery. Thieme, Stuttgart) with Rostral and Caudal basal cisterns (see Lang J 1979 Kopf B: Gehirn- und Augenschädel, and 1985 Kopf A: Übergeordnete Systeme. In: von Lanz and Wachsmuth Praktische Anatomie. Springer, Berlin-Heidelberg-New York). The Cisternae infratentoriae (Infratentorial cisterns) and Cisternae supratentoriae (Supratentorial cisterns) can be subdivided into unpaired basal and dorsal cisterns, and paired lateral cisterns. They are arranged here from Caudal to Rostral.
