| cerebellomedullary cistern | The largest of the subarachnoid cisterns between the cerebellum and the medulla oblongata; may be divided into a dorsal cistern located between the cerebellum and dorsal surface of the medulla (cisterna magna) and a lateral cistern located between the cerebellum and the lateral aspect of the medulla. Synonym: cisterna cerebellomedullaris, cisterna magna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellomedullary malformation syndrome | <radiology> Chiari I herniation of medulla and cerebellar tonsils, 4th ventricle in normal position, Chiari II herniation of medulla, tonsils, vermis, 4th ventricle at foramen magnum, myelomeningocele, aqueductal stenosis most likely to be hydrocephalus, Chiari III further herniation, 4th ventricle below foramen magnum, encephalocele or myelomeningocele associated with: agenesis of corpus callosum, syrinx (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellopontile angle | <anatomy, oncology> The angle between the cerebellum and the pons, a common site for the growth of acoustic neuromas. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cerebellopontine | Relating to the cerebellum and the pons; denoting especially the cerebellopontine recess or angle between these two structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle | <anatomy, oncology> The angle between the cerebellum and the pons, a common site for the growth of acoustic neuromas. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cerebellopontine angle syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due most commonly to an acoustic tumour in the region between the cerebellum and pons, and marked by ataxia, nystagmus, tinnitus, deafness, disturbances of labyrinth function, and involvement of any of the cranial nerves, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, or tenth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle tumour | This is a benign tumour of the 8th cranial nerve that affects approximately 1 out of 100,000 people. This tumour arises from the myelin forming Schwann cells that coat the 8th cranial nerve (acoustic nerve). Clinical presentation usually includes hearing deficit. Diagnosis can be made with auditory evoked potentials and/or MRI scanning of the brain. Vertigo and tinnitus may be associated symptoms. Surgical removal of this tumour involves dissection, cautery and obliteration with laser. Causes: acoustic neuroma (90%), meningioma (7%), epidermoid (3%), uncommon: metastasis, trigeminal neuroma, arachnoid cyst, aneurysm, vertebro-basilar dolichoectasia (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellopontine cisternography | The radiographic study of the cerebellopontine angle and contiguous structures after the introduction of a radiopaque contrast medium into the subarachnoid space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine recess | The angle formed at the junction of cerebellum, pons, and medulla. Synonym: pontocerebellar recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellorubral | Relating to the connections of the cerebellum with the red nucleus. Origin: cerebello-+ L. Ruber, red (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellorubral tract | That component of the superior cerebellar peduncle (brachium conjunctivum) which distributes fibres within the red nucleus of the opposite side. Synonym: tractus cerebellorubralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
