| choroid tela of third ventricle | A double fold of pia mater, enclosing subarachnoid trabeculae, between the fornix above and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle and the thalami below; at each lateral margin is a vascular fringe projecting into the choroidal fissure of the lateral ventricle; on its undersurface are several small vascular projections filling the folds of the ependymal roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |

| inferior choroid vein | <anatomy, vein> A small vein draining the lower part of the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle into the basal vein. Synonym: vena choroidea inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epithelial choroid layer | The layer of modified ependymal cells that forms the inner layer of the tela choroidea, facing the ventricle. Synonym: lamina epithelialis, epithelial choroid layer, lamina choroidea epithelialis, lamina choroidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
