| bulb of posterior horn of lateral ventricle of brain | Bulb of posterior horn of lateral ventricle of the brain; a curved elevation on the inner wall of the posterior horn produced by the fibres of the forceps major of the corpus callosum as they bend backward into the occipital lobe.

| cistern of lateral fossa of cerebrum | An elongated expansion of the subarachnoid space where the arachnoid bridges over the opening of the Sylvian fissure. Synonym: cisterna fossae lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cornua of lateral ventricle | See: anterior horn, inferior horn of lateral ventricle, cornu posterius ventriculi lateralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of lateral cerebral sulcus | The long, posteriorly-directed continuation of the lateral cerebral sulcus which extends between the temporal lobe inferiorly and the parietal lobe superiorly, its termination surrounded by the supramarginal gyrus. Synonym: ramus posterior sulci lateralis cerebri. (05 Mar 2000) |
