| Monro's foramen | The short, often slitlike passage that, on both the left and right side, connects the third brain ventricle (of the diencephalon) with the lateral ventricles (of the cerebral hemispheres); the passage is bounded anteriomedially by the column of fornix and posterolaterally by the anterior pole of the thalamus. Synonym: foramen interventriculare, Monro's foramen, porta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Monro's line | A line passing from the umbilicus to the anterior superior iliac spine. McBurney's point occurs on this line. Synonym: Monro's line, Richter-Monro line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Monro's sulcus | A groove in the lateral wall of the third ventricle on either side leading from the interventricular foramen to the aditus ad aqueductum cerebri; the sulcus-demarcated boundary between dorsal thalamus and hypothalamus. Synonym: sulcus hypothalamicus, Monro's sulcus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior median fissure of medulla oblongata | The longitudinal groove in the midline of the anterior aspect of the medulla oblongata; it is the medullary equivalent of the anterior median fissure of the spinal cord and ends at the foramen caecum posterius; its caudal part is obliterated by the decussation of the pyramids. Synonym: fissura mediana anterior medullae oblongatae, anteromedian groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
